About Josh Buchholtz

I help companies scale revenue, improve operating leverage, and increase enterprise value by aligning customer strategy, go-to-market execution, and operating discipline. I\'m a commercial and growth leader with nearly 20 years of experience driving revenue expansion across international markets. Earlier in my career, I led European market expansion and partnership development for a global manufacturing business—building channel partnerships, establishing distribution networks, and executing go-to-market strategies across multiple countries. That hands-on operating experience shaped my approach to cross-border commercial strategy and scalable international growth. Today, I lead a 70+ person global practice focused on commercial strategy and growth advisory for B2B and SaaS organizations. I own revenue targets for the practice, manage commercial performance, and lead sellers and consultants who drive client acquisition. I work across contexts—as a consulting partner, operating advisor, or growth leader—and am most effective in moments of change: market expansion, post-acquisition integration, new business lines, or stalled growth. My track record includes unlocking $70MM+ in incremental revenue through international go-to-market strategies and distributor enablement, and driving 15–20% EBITDA improvement through M&A integration and operational optimization. I specialize in commercial strategy, strategic partnerships, and building performance-driven organizations that execute. My approach is consistent: start with real customer insight, make clear strategic choices, and build teams and operating rhythms that actually execute.
