Fort Myers, FL — THM Media is proud to announce the appointment of Don Schiavone to its Strategic Advisory Board. As a member of the board, Don will provide strategic guidance to THM Media’s executive leadership. This advisory role is designed to bring together seasoned experts whose insights help shape the company’s growth trajectory across digital innovation, national partnerships, and market expansion.

Don Schiavone brings more than 25 years of experience leading high-growth businesses, combining deep technological expertise with a data-driven “test-everything” philosophy rooted in the belief that "you can’t manage what you can’t measure." His coaching and leadership approach focuses on three core pillars: people, process, and systems — always in that order.

Don has a strong track record in SaaS business models, professional and financial services, hi-tech product development, and telecom markets, all underpinned by a commitment to building high-performing company cultures. As COO of Grasshopper, the Entrepreneur’s Phone System, Don led the company through 21 consecutive quarters of exceeded business goals, culminating in its successful $170M acquisition by Citrix. He oversaw all aspects of the M&A process, from investment bank selection and deal negotiations to FCC approval and due diligence.

Earlier in his career, Don co-founded Sagebridge Solutions, where he achieved a 163% compound annual growth rate and grew its client base to over 200 small and medium-sized businesses. At Granitar, a professional services and tech consulting firm, he scaled the team from 60 to over 200 consultants in less than two years while securing more than $15M in venture capital. His operational strategies have also guided Fortune 500 companies during his time at the Mitchell Madison Group, a McKinsey & Company spinout.

Don was named “Best New Mentor” by TechStars Boston in 2016 and holds a B.S. in Computer and Electrical Engineering from Clarkson University, along with an MBA from The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.

“We’re thrilled to welcome Don to our Advisory Board,” said Tom Bohn, CEO of THM Media. “His deep operational expertise, combined with his ability to scale companies and systems, aligns perfectly with where THM Media is headed. We’re lucky to have his voice at the table.”
