about far point strategy
It started at a table
In 2023, at a strategic off-site, Preston Peterman looked around the table at the leadership team of the company where he ran consulting. It was the biggest year the practice had ever had. And one leader at a time, it landed: the vision in that room was not his. They wanted to scale staffing. He wanted to build consulting. Good people, wrong room.
He gave six months notice. Six months, not two weeks, so the team he'd built and the business he'd grown would hold without him. Then he left, on his own timeline.
Week one on his own, the Concur account was deactivated. Twenty years of corporate scaffolding, gone behind a login screen. No team. No pipeline. No mold. The first price he named without a firm behind him was $20K for a one-month project, and he felt that number in his chest before he said it out loud. The client said yes, and later became his first coaching client.
Far Point Strategy was founded in 2023. It exists so the next executive who walks out doesn't have to rebuild alone.
track record
The receipts
Before Far Point, twenty years of services delivery: Deloitte, Logic20/20, Ciber, and Wimmer Solutions, where Preston finished as Vice President and General Manager.
At Wimmer, he grew the consulting practice from $1.4M to $17.5M in three years. Inside that run, eight service lines crossed seven figures, every one built on the same architecture: one defined service, one price, one repeatable delivery model.
That architecture is what Far Point teaches. Not a framework he read about. A build he ran eight times.
operating principles
How we work
The same rules apply whether you're in a free workshop or a private engagement.
- We say the hard thing. If the offer is muddy, the price is wrong, or the plan won't hold, you hear it in plain terms, the first time.
- No flattery. Praise here gets pinned to something you built, not to how the room feels.
- Numbers travel with their inputs. Every figure comes with the timeframe and the math behind it, and a guess gets named as a guess.
- We anti-sell. If the timing is wrong for you, we say so and tell you what to do instead. A wrong-fit yes costs you more than it costs us.
A note on private work
A handful of owners work with Preston one to one. Direct calendar access, business and life on the same table. Capacity is five. Most seats are filled from inside the Collective. If you want to be on the short list, say so.

three people
The team
Far Point Strategy is three people. No layers between you and the person doing the work.
- Preston Peterman, Founder and CEO. Twenty years building service businesses inside other people's companies, now spent building them with owners. He teaches every Edge Accelerator cohort himself.
- Josh Brown, Operations and AI Systems. Runs the systems that keep Far Point moving, including the Far Point Operating System built on Claude that members work on inside the Edge Accelerator.
- Alysse Bryson, Brand Strategy and Marketing. Runs brand and marketing, and made the same leap herself into a business of her own. When she writes for this audience, she isn't guessing.
