About Buzz Walker

I work with CEOs and leadership teams during moments when decisions carry disproportionate consequences, including post-acquisition transitions, strategic inflection points, revenue pressure, and periods of heightened board or investor scrutiny.Through Sorin Partners, I serve as a confidential decision partner, helping leaders navigate complexity, test assumptions, and make clear, grounded decisions they can stand behind. Engagements are advisory in nature and deliberately non-operational, designed for executives who value judgment, discretion, and perspective.I bring over four decades of senior operating experience across technology, healthcare, and global markets, including leadership roles spanning go-to-market strategy, partnerships, M&A integration, and organizational transformation. My work is informed by having sat in the chair carrying responsibility for outcomes, people, and capital.Clients work with me when clarity matters more than speed, and when alignment at the leadership and organizational level determines whether strategy succeeds or stalls. I engage selectively and work with a limited number of leaders at any given time.Based in Phoenix, AZ, serving clients nationally and internationally.
