i have found in a dict "break ground " to mean: empezar/preparar el camino, as i didn't know the word, assunming that groundbreaker comes from this verb, you could use: pionero. I am not quite sure, although i may understand the concept in english. in any case, you can exlain the meaning to me and i'll look for something more specific. Probably spanish has not a term for this and we use some periphrasis.
