Brent Drever

Founder | Leadership & Board Advisor | Next Act Strategy | Curious Investor

I help leaders navigate complexity and lead with clarity.

Over three decades, I’ve co-founded six companies, served on nine boards, and advised executives and owners through growth, exits, and reinvention. My work has always followed the same throughline: practical leadership, deep reflection, and results that matter.

OnRivr is where I share what I’ve learned—and what I’m still learning. Through Rivr Notes, my monthly newsletter on leadership, performance, and wellness, and the Midlife Circus podcast, a space exploring the intersection of leadership and life stage, I offer grounded insights for those seeking presence, performance, and purpose.

Beyond ideas, OnRivr also invests in leadership—through OnRivr Investments and the OnRivr Foundation—supporting people and organizations building what’s next. I also collaborate with executive teams and boards ready to think differently and lead more intentionally.

Outside of work, you’ll find me running remote mountain trails, fly fishing off-the-grid waters, or tackling endurance challenges like the Grand Canyon Rim-to-Rim-to-Rim. Leadership, like adventure, demands perspective, grit, and the willingness to go beyond comfort.

If you’re at a crossroads—or simply looking for space to think more clearly—welcome. You’re in the right place.
