After 40 years of business experience in financing, strategy development, new venture startup, succession management, board development, and business turnarounds, I have had the benefit of seeing many diverse challenges and organizational environments; often having been called upon to find solutions to challenges and implementing change. Many of these situations were chaotic and uncertain and, as a result, I became a well-tested, seasoned change agent. When I left active leadership, I turned my attention to sharing the benefit of my experience with the next generation of business leaders. Now, as a business confidante, mentor, Chair and Board member, I strive to ask the right questions, work to find solutions, and hold my clients accountable to achieve their goals.As a Certified Executive Coach, I act as a business advisor and mentor to CEOs, business owners and key executives looking to sharpen their strategic plans, develop their executive teams and find peace-of-mind in their decision-making process. I work privately and as a Chair to a Vistage CEO Group, and am affiliated with Global Black Swan, an international coaching consultancy. I formed my first Vistage Group in 2011. Today that Group is comprised of many of Albany's foremost business leaders; their companies are recognized among Albany’s Best Place to Work, INC 5000 Fastest Growing and JD Powers Best Ranked. Having seen the tremendous growth and change in the Group’s members, I decided to make this rich opportunity available by forming a second group. I am looking to connect with only the most focused, high performing executives in Albany, who recognize that leading a company in the 21st century is one of a challenge, disruption, and evolution. We will meet monthly to seek solutions to the strategic and tactical challenges your company is facing. I will also work with you one-to-one to sharpen your thinking around current challenges, as well as being your accountability partner.
