Brian Houlahan

He earned his Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from the University of Connecticut and is a Certified Executive Coach through the Columbia Business School. Brian entered the dental industry in 2006 after founding a financial technology company that helped dental practices reduce accounts receivable and get paid faster. Over the past two decades, he has been inside more than 2,000 practices nationwide, studying firsthand why some practices plateau while others continue to grow year after year. This lifetime of pattern recognition, benchmarking, and hands-on coaching forms the foundation of his unique perspective on sustainable practice growth.

As a Managing Partner at Fortune Management, Brian specializes in helping doctors clarify their long-term vision, strengthen leadership and communication, and install the operational systems that drive measurable results. Brian is also recognized nationally as a member of Fortune50’s executive coaching team, working with some of the highest-performing dental entrepreneurs in the country. His coaching blends high-level business strategy with practical, real-world execution, and his speaking style—equal parts energetic, humorous, and direct—makes complex concepts both relatable and actionable.

Outside of his work helping doctors create extraordinary practices, Brian enjoys spending time with his wife, Jessica, their two children, Brian and Victoria, and their French bulldog.
