About Ken Paskins

I’m the Founder and CEO of GCE Strategic Consulting, a firm built to help founder-led businesses get unstuck, stabilize growth, and operate with clarity and confidence. We step in when operations stall, leadership is stretched, or teams need structure and accountability to turn motion into measurable progress.Ken Paskins has experience scaling companies from pre-revenue to $350M plus, serving as an SVP at a Sequoia Capital-backed company, and leading large teams at Oracle with P & Ls up to $500M. Today that work continues through GCE by leading alongside the teams we support. We don’t advise from the sidelines. We work inside the business to create operating clarity, strengthen leadership, and leave companies stronger than we found them.Our work spans Fractional Integrator and COO support, leadership coaching, and executive recruiting and interim leadership across sales, finance, and HR. I also serve on the Board of EO Atlanta and host conversations for growth-minded CEOs through the GCE Resource Center.GCE is named after my daughters, Gabrielle, Chloe, and Emma. This company is more than a consulting firm. It’s the legacy I’m building for them.If you’re a CEO ready for aligned leadership and real operational traction, I’m always open to a conversation.
