Experience

1. CEO Peer Advisory Board Chair

   Vistage Worldwide, Inc.

   Jul 2017 — Present · Princeton, NJ, US

   As a Vistage chair, my primary role is to facilitate private advisory group sessions that help CEOs, business owners, and senior executives find solutions to business issues. My focus is on executive development for those who lead large companies. Some of the topics we cover include strategic planning, stability and growth, and succession planning. Vistage is an exclusive invitation-only peer mentoring membership organization for CEOs, business owners, and senior executives. It is designed for those who want to maximize results, get challenged, see new perspectives, think differently, take action, and become better leaders. Established in 1957, Vistage is the world’s leading executive coaching organization. By participating in a Vistage group, CEOs become better leaders, make better decisions, and get better results. Members gain a fresh perspective and find new solutions through a unique combination of peer group meetings, one-on-one coaching, expert speaker led workshops, access to “members only” conferences, online best practices, and a global network of more than executives. Vistage works, and these results prove it: • An independent 2017 D&B analysis revealed Vistage member companies have 2.2x higher growth of Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) than non-members.• Vistage members themselves report return-on-investment and 3–30x faster revenue growth with a significantly improved bottom line.• Almost all Vistage members surveyed say they are enjoying better work-life balance, working fewer hours, and spending more quality time with family and friends.If you would like to achieve similar results and you’re in the Princeton area, let’s discuss your situation.
