About Jon McTaggart

I help CEOs, founders, owners and boards lead with clarity through seasons of transition, growth, and complexity.For more than 35 years, I’ve worked alongside high-potential leaders who care deeply about their people, their purpose, and the legacy they’re building. I’ve guided organizations through succession and scale, helped multi-generational family businesses navigate complexity, and walked with CEOs through moments when the path forward was anything but clear.As a former CEO, I know what it means to lead through change, and to carry the weight of decisions that affect not just the business, but the people and values behind it.At Sagency, I serve as a Senior Advisor, helping leaders or private companies and organizations in transition build alignment, strengthen leadership, and move forward with confidence. My work often focuses on:• Navigating founder-to-next-generation transitions;• Supporting family-owned businesses through complex dynamics;• Advising CEOs during growth, succession, or structural change;• Helping CEOs and Board Chairs build high-performing boards; and,• Providing calm, trusted counsel when the stakes are high and clarity is needed.Previously, I served as CEO of American Public Media Group, leading a mission-driven national enterprise through more than a decade of record growth. I’ve also served on high-performing boards and advised enterprise leaders across industries who are building something that works and lasts.I’ve benefited from trusted advisors throughout my life. Now I offer that same partnership to leaders who are thinking deeply, acting boldly, and committed to doing the hard work of leading well.If that sounds like you or someone you know, I’d be honored to connect: J•••@SagencyTalent.com#ExecutiveLeadership #FamilyBusiness #SuccessionPlanning #CEOAdvisory #OrganizationalHealth #BusinessGrowth #Governance #LeadershipTransitions #Sagency
