20+ years scaling B2Bs
Mario Peshev: Business Advisor & Executive
I work with SME founders and executive teams through my 1:1 async advisory programs, solving GTM challenges, business strategy, P&L management, AI augmentation, and management framework application workflows.
We work on operational efficiency, org chart restructuring, uncovering new growth channels, building new offers, launching initiatives safely, and opening new market opportunities.
Over the past 20 years, I’ve launched several companies, acquired 40 brands and applications, sold a SaaS to a $180M business, and scale a leading B2B digital agency.

Satisfied Clients
With 20 years of business consulting, advisory, training, and running successful companies, here are some success stories that stand out.
Mario is a WordPress magician. From day one his impact on our business was immediate.
We run a media platform with intense daily deadlines and 80+ clients to service, and we desperately needed his skill and service to continue to grow. I love Mario–because he has saved and made our company money. He’s professional, fast and I sleep well at night knowing he (via DevriX) is at the controls.
Mel Stewart
CEO & Co-Founder of SwimSwam.com,
2x Olympic Champion
Mario is a professional who wears several hats on any given occasion.
WordPress developer, business advisor, business growth strategist, educator, and content marketing strategist are just some of the areas he has expertise in.
He has been highly helpful in helping us better understand our business processes and consequently, improve as a company. Look forward to working with Mario well into the future.
Georgi Rusev
SR Manager R&D, VMWARE
I’ve been working with web design firms since the mid-90s. Mario’s firm DevriX is the best I have worked with by a wide margin. Their ability to customize high-performance WordPress sites is exceptional. They bring a spirit of collaboration to their work, as well as taking initiative on virtual project management.
Mario has been very responsive and has really taken the time to understand our business model. Some of my best interactions with Mario have nothing to do with pending projects but with big-picture issues and strategies we need to be thinking about. He’s offered us candid feedback which I find invaluable. A real pro to work with.
