Founder’s Story

Hi, I’m Steven Pivnik.

I’m a tenacious, energetic, fun, and creative entrepreneur who is on what many would call a successful journey with impressive results.

I didn’t get here overnight, and I’ve had my own series of ups and downs over the years. But I persevered, and now my passion is showing others the possible paths they can take, while I get to play the role of a humble guide.

Always striving for new heights!

Where I Began

My parents and grandparents immigrated from Eastern Europe in search of a better life for the entire family. I tagged along at the age of three. Since then I have learned nothing but love, respect, work ethic, thirst for knowledge, and the desire to succeed and thrive from them. Except for my mom, they are in heaven but I continue the quest for a rewarding life with their souls as my guiding light.

I started my professional career as a mainframe programmer and quickly learned the more modern technologies of the time in order to advance. I believed that there would be greater opportunities for me and my family if I left the comfort of a paycheck to start my own firm. So I did. After two failed attempts the third one was more successful than I imagined it could be.

What I’m Currently Doing

After 27 years as the founder and CEO and then Executive Chairman of an international technology company that grew to 200 employees, I had a rewarding exit event and now find myself writing the next chapter of my life.

I have benefited from many advisors in my career and wish to give back to the entrepreneurial community as an advisor to them personally and to their firms.

That is why I started AIP Advisory LLC. Based on the positive and rewarding difference my advisors have had on me and my own company I am confident that my network and I can pay it forward and provide the same level of value to others that are on the quest to succeed.
