Today, our guest on The PARTNERNOMICS® Show is Tzvi Schwartz, Expert® EOS Implementer at EOS Worldwide.
Tzvi is incredibly passionate about helping business owners run a better business. As the owner of an electrical contracting firm, Tzvi ran a great business… but not without experiencing all the the issues that often cripple mid-size businesses. After 16 years, Tzvi sold the company and joined a larger union firm as the Director of Business Development. It didn’t take long before Tzvi discovered that the company may have been larger in size… but they still struggled with the very same issues! When the business took on EOS everything started to fall into place. Getting the right people in the right seats – following the processes, was a real game changer. The company grew 400% over just 4 years. After the company graduated from their Certified EOS Implementer, Tzvi continued the EOS roll out company wide, effectively helping the company achieve it’s vision. Upon seeing the remarkable results EOS provided, Tzvi chose to leave his position from the leadership team and pursue his passion of helping other business owners run a better a business and live a better life.Tzvi is available for business coaching work and for keynote speaking at any business function.

Today, our guest on The PARTNERNOMICS® Show is Jennifer Vazquez, a Certified EOS® Implementer at EOS Worldwide.
Jennifer's entrepreneurial journey began at 24 after realizing corporate life wasn’t for her. She entered real estate finance, but the Great Recession led to bankruptcy. As a single mom, she pivoted and quickly built a business with 30+ professionals and 1,000 clients. Driven by a passion for children, she acquired a failing preschool and scaled it to three locations, 50 staff, and 300+ students. When operations became overwhelming, she restructured using EOS, built strong leadership, and increased profitability. In 2021, she exited through a private equity acquisition that retained her team and model. A year later, the leadership team won regional awards for performance and retention. Today, as a Certified EOS Implementer®, she helps entrepreneurs to scale effectively, strengthen culture, and reclaim balance. With experience, grit, and humor, she empowers businesses to reach their full potential while helping owners and teams thrive.
