MATCHplay

Executive Business Coach & Former Medical Device Company Founder


Listen Later

Building a successful company is one thing. Building a company that can scale, endure, and eventually sell at its peak is something entirely different.

In this episode of MATCHplay, Thad Miller sits down with Tim Wiley, executive business coach and former medical device company founder, to unpack what it really takes to create long-term enterprise value and position a business for a successful exit.

Tim grew a medical device company and sold it at its peak. Today, he works closely with CEOs and leadership teams in mid-market companies, giving him a front-row seat to what separates businesses that scale intentionally from those that stall when it comes time to transition.

This conversation is about entrepreneurship, leadership structure, culture, and the mindset shift required to build something that does not depend entirely on you.

If you are a founder, entrepreneur, or business owner thinking about scaling, succession planning, or eventually selling your company, this episode is for you.

In this episode, we cover:

✅ How Tim built and sold his medical device company at the right time ✅ The early decisions that shape long-term business value ✅ Patterns that separate companies that scale from those that plateau ✅ Mistakes founders make that quietly erode enterprise value ✅ Why leadership structure and company culture impact valuation ✅ When entrepreneurs should realistically start thinking about exit planning ✅ How to shift from founder-driven operations to a business that runs without you ✅ Trends in the acquisition landscape and what buyers are looking for today ✅ Lessons Tim would apply differently if he could sell again
