Ricki Pasinelli
Growth Strategist | Founder
I specialize in
I work with CEOs and Founders who have grown their companies organically but now find themselves stuck at a growth plateau, caught in the cycle of reactive tactics instead of proactive strategy. With a people-first approach, I help leaders step back from day-to-day troubleshooting and into bold, forward-looking planning that honors company culture, values, and stakeholder goals—ultimately driving sustainable, exponential growth. With 25+ years of experience spanning growth planning, brand strategy, marketing, and business development for Fortune 500 clients, I now focus on midsize companies (50+ employees, $15M–$50M revenue). As Founder of The Make Partnership, I bring sharp strategic thinking, creative execution, and the energy to fuel lasting impact. From agency leadership and in-house brand building to launching my own ventures, I’ve built a career on unlocking growth and positioning organizations for their next big leap.
