BOARD DIRECTOR · CEO ADVISOR · AUTHOR
Predict leader success — before the risk shows up in the numbers.
For nearly three decades I’ve advised CEOs, executive teams, and boards on the behavioral dynamics that shape risk, continuity, and long-term value — pressures that take hold long before they reach a financial statement or a succession report.
Leadership at the top rarely breaks in obvious ways.
More often it strains quietly, through accumulation. Signals conflict. Risk multiplies. The cost of decisions rises while certainty declines. That’s the terrain I work in — expanding leadership range, sharpening judgment under pressure, and aligning leadership behavior with fiduciary responsibility and enterprise reality.

Where I focus
Board & CEO Advisory
Enterprise performance, executive judgment under pressure, succession readiness, and the behavioral dynamics that shape risk and continuity.
Agentic AI & Non-Human Intelligence
Helping boards and executives think rigorously about AI as a functioning member of the leadership team — and what it means for decision-making, governance, and accountability.
Books & Frameworks
Inspirational Presence and Ten Tasks of Change — the behavioral science behind expanding leadership range at the top.
Bringing agentic AI and Non-Human Intelligence into the room.
I help boards and executives think rigorously about how machine intelligence reshapes decision-making, governance, and accountability at the top of the organization — not as a tool on the side, but as a working member of the leadership team.
Responsible not just for results, but for stewardship?
Of people, performance, and the future of the institution — you’ll recognize the questions I work on.
