Who I Am

Gordon D. Hester

Transformation Specialist, Entrepreneur, Consultant, Trainer And Author

Gordon Hester is a Global Business Strategist. His consulting business is focused on working with mid to large sized companies.

Society doesn’t teach us to succeed…

It teaches us to conform

Gordon Hester is an entrepreneur and business strategist. For 25 years, Gordon was the CEO of Roberti Enterprises. Although Roberti Enterprises was a conglomerate of various companies, it was best known for building one of the largest global distributorships in the history of the Direct Selling Industry with sales in excess of $10 billion and a sales organization exceeding 100,000 distributors in over 25 countries. During this period, he coached and trained thousands of entrepreneurs in North America, 15 European Member countries, Israel and Australia.


After retiring in April 2016, Gordon started his own global business consulting practice. The focus of his consulting practice was B2B, primarily with start-ups and mid-sized global companies. The scope of his consulting is very broad but always focused on problem-solving, both in operations and sales. Much of that work is on business strategies and the development of systems and process necessary to advance momentum in their businesses.

In 2018, Gordon started building his execution team. The first step was launching his global technology business called ShapeTech Solutions, LLC. ShapeTech Solutions is a boutique tech design and full-stack development firm with offices in both Sarasota, Florida and Nis, Serbia. ShapeTech has an international team of business consultants, developers, and designers providing transformative solutions for global businesses. The ShapeTech Team has over 40+ years of business experience and over 100+ years of tech experience. Step #2 was launching Shapetech Studios which is a digital marketing division. Later in 2019, he will also be launching the Hester Consulting Network which is a group of high-end business consultants.
