Making the world smarter and smaller: How PIE helps business leaders build meaningful relationships

Profitable Ideas Exchange (PIE) was founded in Bozeman, MT, in 2001. For 25 years, PIE has been helping senior executives across the globe connect to exchange ideas about their most pressing challenges. PIE convenes c-suite discussions with experts sitting at the center who are prepared to help solve complex business problems. With a long-time focus on virtual convening, PIE grew steadily for many years and saw more rapid growth during COVID when leaders were eager to stay connected but couldn’t meet in person. PIE’s CEO, Andi Baldwin, is a Bozeman native who has been with the company since 2014 and became CEO in 2025. During this talk, she will share about PIE’s growth and transformation during its 25-year history, their recent transition to becoming a Public Benefit Corporation, her focus on creating high quality jobs in the Gallatin Valley, and her vision for continuing to grow the firm in the years ahead.
