I excel in the space between ambition and achievement. This "execution space" is where desired results typically go unrealized. I am expert at partnering with CEOs and their teams to help businesses focus on what matters, identify the real reasons even well-intentioned effort is not yielding desired results, and bring the clarity and discipline needed to course correct. In short, I help leadership teams drive accountability - to each other, and to results. I do this in harmony with each individual corporate culture and with empathy built on more than three decades of experience. This dramatically increases the time to and the magnitude of results and creates momentum that is infectious.In 2022 McGraw Hill published my business book, "The Metail Economy", which became a bestseller and has been widely-recognized as identifying a pivotal change in consumer behavior and what companies must do to thrive with empowered, me-centric quantum consumers.At the end of 2022, after 19 years with the firm, I retired as the global Co-Head of Retail from the management consultancy AlixPartners. Today, I am a strategic advisor to ambitious investors, boards and CEOs.
