About Reza Breakstone

I help startups and emerging companies scale with clarity, integrity, and smart operational strategy. I also help large institutional clients execute strategic initiatives.As the founder of RB Unlimited, LLC, I serve as a fractional COO and strategic advisor to companies ready for growth — but committed to doing it the right way. My clients are generally subject matter experts who are founders looking for a business partner to help shape and run a better company. Together, we build real operational infrastructure, design scalable models, and unlock new possibilities.Before founding RB Unlimited, I spent over 14 years as a litigator. That experience sharpened my ability to think under pressure, navigate complexity, and advocate with precision — skills I now bring to business strategy.In 2024, I completed my Executive MBA through the IE Brown Executive MBA program, finishing #1 in my class, serving as class representative, and giving the graduation speech. I was honored to receive the award for outstanding classmate — a reflection of the value I place on being a true partner, not just a high performer.What guides me? First-principles thinking Ted Lasso-style leadership (yes, really) A belief that strategy without integrity is wasted potentialI’d love to connect — whether you\'re building something bold or just want to trade ideas.
