Jean Moncrieff is a serial entrepreneur, investor, and leadership team coach with more than three decades of experience building, scaling, and exiting businesses. Originally from South Africa, Jean started his first company as a teenager, launching a computer hardware business at the age of nineteen. Over the following years, he helped build and raise capital for one of the early web content management platforms and went on to found, finance, and exit several companies across different industries.Having experienced the full journey of entrepreneurship - from founder and operator to investor and exit- Jean developed a deep understanding of the challenges business owners face as their companies grow. After scaling an eight-figure company that left him trapped inside the business, he spent two years transforming it into a valuable, scalable asset before successfully exiting. That experience reshaped the way he approaches business and leadership.Today, Jean works with CEOs and leadership teams to build valuable companies that can grow without consuming their lives. He is the founder of Emerge Accelerators and leads the Small Giants Community, a global network of purpose-driven business owners committed to building companies that are great rather than simply big.
