Gail Doby has spent nearly two decades helping firm owners uncover the deeper patterns behind those issues instead of simply treating symptoms. After building and rebuilding her own design firm through major adversity, Gail co-founded Pearl Collective to help creative and service-based businesses strengthen profitability, leadership, pricing, and operational systems. Her work combines financial discipline with leadership development, helping founders transition from overwhelmed operators into confident CEOs. One of the most compelling parts of Gail’s philosophy is her belief that business growth mirrors personal growth. She challenges founders to move beyond scarcity thinking, charge based on value, build stronger teams, and create firms that can scale sustainably. For leaders of consulting and professional service firms, this conversation offers a practical look at what long-term business maturity actually requires. Proposed Interview Structure: 1.
