Tim Van Mieghem doesn’t just improve businesses; he exposes the profit hiding in plain sight. As a founding partner of The ProAction Group, he works with middle market companies, family-owned businesses, and private equity firms to cut through complexity and unlock measurable, lasting value.
Known for his sharp operational insight and strong bias for action, Tim has built a career helping leaders identify hidden inefficiencies across pricing, inventory, and operations, then turn those insights into clear, executable strategies that drive immediate impact. His work does not live on slide decks. It shows up on the shop floor, in financial performance, and in stronger, more aligned teams.
Tim is a keynote speaker and the author of Shocking Profit, a practical and provocative guide that challenges conventional thinking around margin and growth. As host of the Shocking Profit Podcast, he extends that mission by engaging with operators, executives, and investors who are actively transforming their organizations.
He is also the creator of the proprietary 9 Box Inventory and Pricing Tool, a powerful framework designed to help companies quickly pinpoint where profit is being lost and how to capture it. The tool reflects Tim’s broader approach, which is simple, actionable, and grounded in real world results.
At the core of everything Tim does is a belief that enduring success starts with people. Companies do not scale. Leaders do. By developing leaders at every level, organizations build the capability to sustain performance, adapt to change, and thrive for the long term. For Tim, operational excellence is not an initiative. It is a discipline, and when embraced fully, it becomes a lasting competitive advantage.
