About John Furth

Hi, I’m John Furth.I help entrepreneurs become CEOs, and successful leaders become more human.My path here wasn’t a straight line. I grew up in a high-achieving family where success was the standard. But it took me decades, and a few humbling detours, to understand what real success looks like.After graduating from Harvard with a degree in music, I spent years exploring whether modest dreams could lead to fulfillment. Eventually, I pivoted, earned an MBA from NYU Stern, and dove into investment banking and management consulting. I rose quickly:• Project Manager at Roland Berger in under two years• Named Partner ahead of schedule• Leadership roles at Sony and Discovery• CEO of the Association of Management Consulting Firms, where I led a full turnaroundBut even as the wins stacked up, something was missing. A professional crisis forced me to confront hard truths: I was driven, but disconnected, from others and myself. I had built success on performance, not presence.So I did the real work.Today, I coach founders, executives, and high performers who are ready to lead with clarity, confidence, and compassion. My “Owning Tomorrow Performance Model” helps clients:• Align their personal growth with business results• Lead teams with empathy and purpose• Step fully into the next level of leadership, without losing themselves along the wayI also work with seasoned executives to design extraordinary “third acts,” transformative post-corporate chapters that bring meaning and impact.No fluff. No generic advice. Just honest, transformative coaching from someone who’s lived it.Let’s talk.Free Consultation/Information Session - John Frederick Furthhttps://calendly.com/john-furth/free-consultant-information-session
