Robert Shawn Knight Male • United States of America

Robert Shawn Knight has built a distinguished career as an entrepreneur and business leader. As the CEO of GreenEarth Landscaping Company and Co-founder of GrowthBridge Coaching and Consulting, he has demonstrated an exceptional ability to grow businesses and help others do the same. Born in Winter Park, Florida, and raised in North Carolina, his entrepreneurial spirit was evident from a young age. After earning his Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) from Appalachian State University, he set his sights on becoming a successful self-made businessman.

Knight’s journey into entrepreneurship began in 2005 when he started his first landscaping company in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida. With little more than determination and a willingness to take calculated risks, he built a thriving business in residential and commercial landscaping markets. His strategic decisions and ability to form key partnerships allowed the company to grow rapidly. Eventually, he sold his first business to private equity, using the proceeds to expand further and invest in new ventures across multiple states.

Recognizing that many business owners face challenges when scaling their operations, Knight co-founded GrowthBridge Coaching and Consulting. The firm focuses on helping small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) navigate growth and increase profitability. Using strategies based on his experiences in scaling businesses, he and his team help clients develop long-term growth strategies, optimize their operations, and maximize their market value. He empowers other entrepreneurs to build sustainable, profitable businesses through his coaching and consulting.

Knight has taken the company to new heights as the CEO of GreenEarth Landscaping. GreenEarth provides comprehensive landscaping services, including lawn care, turf maintenance, and advanced landscape design. What sets GreenEarth apart is its emphasis on sustainable, eco-friendly practices. Under his leadership, the company has become an industry leader, offering innovative solutions that enhance properties' aesthetic and environmental value. The company has expanded across multiple states, generating substantial revenue and serving various industries.

GreenEarth’s business model is built around franchise growth and employee development. Knight places great importance on creating a company culture where employees feel valued and have opportunities to grow professionally. By providing the resources and support needed for employees to thrive, he ensures that the company’s success is shared by all who contribute to it. This employee-focused approach has been instrumental in the company’s long-term growth and stability.

Shawn Knight leads an active and healthy lifestyle outside his business ventures. He enjoys hiking and has completed 34 of Colorado’s 14ers, mountain peaks over 14,000 feet. He is also passionate about running and has participated in several half-marathons. He enjoys traveling and has visited many countries, including Peru, Colombia, and Japan. He keeps up with financial markets and enjoys stock trading in his spare time. These personal pursuits reflect his well-rounded approach to both life and business.
