Our History & Team

Brennan Martin Pugh & Associates was formed like most small businesses around the kitchen table. Bill Pugh (Ashland MA, CFRE) his brother in law, Mike Brennan (Harvard, MBA), his sister, Sarah Martin (Cincinnati, MBA), all have enjoyed successful professional C-Suite careers. They were discussing the need for accomplished company executives to give back to the next generation of business leaders. Out of those spirited, thoughtful conversations, in 2014 Bill founded BMP & Associates. Our goal is to help each of our incredible clients be wildly successful in living out and fulfilling their vision, mission and values. To daily help each of our clients put “best business practices” in effect we come alongside each of our clients and put them on a growth-oriented trajectory where they can pursue and implement purposeful and meaningful change that will take their companies and organizations to the next level of impact and effectiveness.
