Scaling Up Coach and CFO

Helping Founders and CEOs Break The $10M Barrier And Scale Impact & Profit

For founders scaling from $3M to $10M+, we combine Scaling Up execution, strategic finance, and exponential thinking—so you grow faster, more profitably, and with less complexity.

Stuck Scaling Past $1M–$10M?

Growing past $1M is exciting— until you hit the wall. Here’s Why Most Businesses Stall:

That’s where we come in.

Our proven framework helps businesses scale past $10M by focusing on:

Scaling Up Execution

Founders get stuck in every decision, causing chaos. The fix? A clear plan, better systems, and a strong team that runs without you.

CFO Financial Strategy

Growing without control is like driving blind. You need clear cash flow, strong margins, and smart decisions for lasting growth.

Exponential Thinking

Working harder alone won’t get you past $10M. To scale, leverage automation, AI, and smarter business models.

You don’t have to take our word for it—let’s map out what this can look like for your business.

Your Scaling Up Coach: Cruz Gamboa

Cruz Gamboa, an NYU MBA, former GE Corporate Executive, and Scaling Up business coach, is passionate about helping ambitious CEOs and mid-market companies grow profits, valuation, and impact. With a career spanning corporate finance, strategy, and leadership, Cruz has held key roles like Regional CFO for GE Gas Power LATAM and led record-breaking growth initiatives.

Today, Cruz leverages scaling up framework, exponential thinking, and his CFO experience to empower businesses to scale sustainably. Author of “Drive From Within”, Cruz is dedicated to creating lasting impact and helping leaders achieve their boldest goals and avoid chaos.

He uses Scaling Up (by Verne Harnish) as the core execution framework to help businesses optimize cash flow, improve team alignment, and remove bottlenecks that hinder scale. But for founders who think bigger, he integrates Salim Ismail’s Exponential Organizations (ExO) principles—so you’re not just growing incrementally but leveraging technology, automation, and new business models to 10x your impact and valuation.
