With over 30 years as a CEO of several public and private companies, my business leadership experience has included successful operational turnarounds, organizational re-engineering initiatives, and corporate growth achievements—particularly for manufacturing, technology-oriented firms.My diverse background in various industry and competitive contexts provides expertise in operational leadership development, merger and acquisition activities, high-octane corporate culture development, and maximization of revenue-profit goals.As CEO of Boston Business Group and Chair of three (soon to be four) separate Boston Region Vistage Peer Groups totaling over 50 companies, I work with C-suite executives to “grow from the inside out” – helping them more confidently transform vision into success by advancing their leadership skills so they may qualitatively and quantitatively grow their organizations. Valuation growth is the critical focus.As a trusted CEO, coach, and mentor, I leverage my knowledge of the many facets of corporate leadership and governance to support next-generation and mature executives wherever they are on their leadership journey.Recently, I completed four separate courses from the Harvard Law School Executive Education Program on Negotiation (PON), including 40 hours of Mediation and Conflict Resolution training.. The last course I completed was the Executive Education Master Negotiation course at Harvard Law School. Because I see so much need in this area in the business world, I intend to focus here more in the coming months.When I’m not meeting with executive colleagues, facilitating a group, or leading a consulting engagement, I am a passionate beekeeper—studying and caring for the most intelligent insects on the planet! Bees work hard, have a strong sense of organization, community, and culture, and embody the notion of integrated teamwork—all of which have parallels in the business world. They do all this while producing a fantastic product millions have enjoyed for centuries!A sampling of our capabilities includes Negotiation and Mediation, Conflict Resolution, Partnership Conflicts, Change Management, Trusted Leadership, Culture, Team Building, P&L Management, Investor Relations, Revenue Growth, Market Outreach, Processes Optimization, Corporate Restructuring, M&A and Divestitures, Business Transformation/Turnaround, and Corporate Reinvention.
