Tom Roberts is a recognized expert in the intercultural complexities of global leadership and has been referred to as “The Expat Whisperer” by a treasured client. Tom is a senior executive, author, keynote speaker, and certified executive coach who has helped hundreds of C-Suite, VP and Director level leaders redefine their overseas experience as a career-making superpower. It’s difficult to describe the pressures of an expat executive to someone who hasn’t been through the experience. Those pressures are unique, exhilarating, and potentially costly.Understanding the unseen hurdles and traps of an overseas assignment is the FIRST step. Grasping how your home culture, your host culture and your HQ culture are shaping your leadership for better or worse is critical to understanding how to obtain success for you and your family. After over a decade abroad taking on 5 international assignments and guiding teams in 11 different countries, with country, unit, and regional P&L ownership, Tom has been through the ups and downs of leading abroad. The stakes are high for your career, your company’s objectives, and – perhaps most importantly – for your family.“After 30 years of diverse business experience, working abroad for almost 11 years and interviewing expat executives from the world’s largest companies, I founded Cranberry Leadership with the goal of making every expat assignment a success for the company, for the expat leader, for the host team, and for their families. No matter how much you prepare, it’s more complex than you think. With you we will use the best data-driven assessments, science and experience to help make your assignment a tremendous success.” -Tom Roberts
