Certified EOS Implementer & Business Advisor
Full Bio:
Bill Stratton brings over 30 years of hands-on leadership experience in fast-growing, entrepreneurial manufacturing companies across Central Pennsylvania. He’s been in the trenches— helping scale a company from $13 million to over $100 million in revenue and helping it evolve from a national player to a global competitor. He knows what it takes to grow a business—and the challenges that come with it.
In 2014, Bill stepped into a turnaround situation with a 90-year-old, family-owned manufacturing firm. He stabilized the business, reignited revenue growth, and guided the company through significant operational and cultural change. But even with the bleeding stopped, he saw a bigger opportunity: to build a foundation for sustainable, long-term growth.
That’s when he discovered the Entrepreneurial Operating System® (EOS®) through his Vistage group. Bill brought in a Certified EOS Implementer™, rolled up his sleeves with the leadership team, and began the EOS journey. The results were transformational: improved clarity, accountability, and alignment led to a bold business model shift and the launch of a new division. Today, that company is thriving—proof of what’s possible with the right system and structure in place.
Inspired by his experience, Bill became a Certified EOS Implementer™ in 2018. Since then, he has helped over 45 entrepreneurial leadership teams (including three non-profit organizations) get what they want from their businesses—by implementing practical tools, strengthening team health, and driving real traction.
Bill doesn’t just teach EOS—he lived it. He knows the pressures and decisions business owners face because he’s been there. Now, he’s on a mission to help other entrepreneurs achieve clarity, control, and growth—so they can build better businesses and live better lives themselves.
