Brett Gilliland

CEO of Elite Entrepreneurs

Brett Gilliland is Founder and CEO of Elite Entrepreneurs, a company that specializes in giving $1M+ business owners the knowledge, processes and tools to grow to $10M and beyond. Brett is an expert in organization development, leadership and strategy and spent 10 years helping Infusionsoft grow from $7M in revenue to over $100M.

Brett was involved in the foundational work of Purpose, Values and Mission at Infusionsoft and facilitated the strategic planning process for many years. One of Brett’s favorite professional accomplishments is co-creating Infusionsoft’s Elite Forum along with Clate Mask and building the Elite business inside of Infusionsoft.

As the leader of the Elite business, Brett has helped hundreds of struggling seven-figure business owners overcome their biggest challenges and achieve new levels of success. He also played a central role in the development of Infusionsoft’s Leadership Model and was serving as the VP of Leadership Development when the decision was made to spin the Elite business out of Infusionsoft. As the new owner of Elite Entrepreneurs, Brett can’t think of anything else he’d rather be doing professionally.

When Brett isn’t busy helping $1M+ businesses succeed, he is a family man who enjoys spending time with his beautiful wife, Sharon, and their 8 children.

Stephanie Hitchins

Elite Business Coach

She has a gift for connecting with customers and helping them take needed steps to improve themselves and their business. Stephanie has coached 100s of small business owners on growing their business. She has a passion for helping small businesses succeed. Her passion stems from her large family upbringing with a lineage of entrepreneurs that own and operate multiple, diverse, successful small businesses. She grew up experiencing first hand the grit, courage and tenacity it takes to grow a small business.

Before Stephanie was working on coaching small businesses, she was an adjunct professor at BYU Idaho where she engaged and coached students to identify their desired future careers. Stephanie earned her degree from BYU in Humanities with an emphasis in Art History. She always felt that it gave her the skill set to learn how to think outside of the box and ask the questions most don’t consider. She has applied this to every role she has ever taken and made her once-worried father proud!

When she isn’t helping others grow their businesses, she is spending time with her husband, John, her pup Rufus Von Dufusstein and growing her own small business, Shop Blondee.
