SKILLS
ABOUT TODD GERSPACH
My work focuses on partnering with VP and C-suite executives navigating leadership transitions, increased scope, and growing organizational complexity. Most leaders I work with are already successful, but the role has expanded, expectations have intensified, and the margin for error has narrowed.Many of my clients are high-performing executives who find themselves at a leadership inflection point—where the capabilities that created success are no longer sufficient for the next level.Before focusing fully on executive coaching and consulting, my career spanned more than 20 years in COO, CFO, and VP roles across healthcare, financial services, logistics, and manufacturing environments. I led global teams, held full P&L responsibility, worked closely with boards, and spent nine years in international expatriate leadership roles in China. This operating background provides immediate credibility in high-accountability, high-pressure environments.My coaching focuses on decision-making, executive presence, communication, and leadership impact through others. Sessions are practical and focused, helping leaders move from hands-on execution to enterprise-level leadership—clarifying priorities, strengthening influence, and translating insight into behavioral change that holds up in complex operating environments.I’m a Professional Certified Coach (PCC), a PhD candidate in Organizational Leadership, and an associate professor teaching graduate-level operations and leadership courses.I partner best with leaders who value candor, accountability, and disciplined growth.If you\'re navigating a leadership transition, expanded scope, or rising organizational complexity, feel free to reach out.
