Eric Krucke

Eric helps business owners and CEOs build leadership teams that create value—and assemble the deal teams that unlock it. A former Warren Buffett CFO with over 20 years of executive and M&A experience, he has navigated more than 15 acquisitions, including a successful sale to Berkshire Hathaway.

As a national speaker, Eric shares his "Building a Valuable Business" framework, offering founders a practical roadmap to build companies they can either sell or keep. His expertise lies in bridging the gap between daily operations and high-stakes exits, ensuring leaders have the strategy and the team to succeed at every stage.

A proud Florida State University graduate, Eric gives back to his alma mater as a board member and adjunct faculty for the nation’s first standalone College of Entrepreneurship. His deep industry knowledge and commitment to the next generation of founders make him an invaluable mentor for students and seasoned executives alike.
