Finance-trained operator · B2B growth

Fifteen years making businesses worth more.

I'm Alexej Pikovsky. I started in investment banking and private equity, working on $7bn+ in transactions, then crossed to the operating side: raising capital, acquiring companies, and growing them. Today I run growth for B2B service businesses, with a focus on MSPs and cybersecurity.

$300m+
Exit of a private-equity-backed business where I sat on the board.
50+
