About Brian:

Brian Lunt is a connector, a facilitator and a coach, but mostly he’s an entrepreneur. Brian brings over two decades of experience in financial services, entrepreneurship and business to help CEOs and owners navigate complex challenges and accelerate growth. As a Growth Catalyst at Acumen, Brian is helping spearhead their expansion into the Saint Louis market. Acumen specializes in Peer Advisory Teams (aka Masterminds) for CEOs and business owners focused on professional and personal development.

Brian began his career in community banking, working alongside his father and gaining deep insight into both financial operations and family business dynamics. Starting as a management trainee, he progressed through every department in the bank prior to leading the secondary lending division into and through the 2008 financial crisis. Throughout that time, he played a critical role in managing distressed loans and ensuring the bank’s stability. He also continued his education earning an M.B.A. from Washington University and a banking degree from the Graduate School of Banking at LSU. He finished out his career at the bank as a Vice President and primarily a lender, but also helped with marketing, HR, IT, strategic and financial planning.

In 2015, Brian branched out to start his consulting firm, Seed Level Creativity Lab, a launching pad for a variety of enterprises and an era of serial entrepreneurship. In 2016, he founded Medici MediaSpace, a thriving coworking location in St. Louis, which he successfully sold in 2018. He also founded the Saint Louis Business Club and multiple other ventures, always maintaining an active consulting and coaching practice. For nearly a decade, Brian has facilitated peer-to-peer advisory teams and masterminds, including work with his mentor Dr. Tom Hill, The Alternative Board (TAB), and TitanCEO.

Brian lives in Kirkwood, MO with his three children and enjoys traveling, attending church, spending time with friends, and escaping for weekends at the Lake of the Ozarks.
