About Catherine Coulter

The essential role of a leader is to mobilize and guide the talent of others to grow their business and outperform expectations. To achieve this, a leader must have access to fresh ideas, the benefit of honest feedback and be held accountable by executives who have the same responsibilities and experiences. With extensive human resources leadership experience and now as leader of the Tucson CEO University Peer Advisory Group, I work with CEOs, Business Owners, and Presidents who are committed to creating extraordinary results for themselves and each other. Members ask challenging questions that lead to more clarity and expose alternate solutions that were not previously visible. We see again and again that, “None of us is as Smart as All of us.” The CEO University utilizes my HR leadership experience across industries, where I fostered organizational, team, and individual success throughout internal and external challenges. Results were accomplished by driving the transformation of HR to an employee-valued, customer-focused operation and building a unified, engaged, and high-performing workforce.
