With 45+ years of consulting and corporate experience, he understands the convergence of environment, culture, development and rewards in order to improve business performance through people.

He has applied his competencies in all areas that impact people at work – from why they show up to why they stay. He has worked for diverse industries – from health care to high tech. He has built programs and provided services to Boards of Directors, senior executives, management and employees. He notes, “Throughout my career, I have been called everything from a visionary to a contrarian. I continue to believe that businesses and organizations need to think ‘off of the edge of the paper’ in order to assure themselves of the most favorable solutions and outcomes. I also believe that determining the unique right practices for each situation is preferred to “flocking like sheep to the slaughter” by following perceived best practices. What works for one organization may not work for another!” Specialties: Organization Development Leadership Development Change Management Executive Compensation Employee Compensation Sales Compensation Reward and Motivation Performance Management Strategic Planning Employee Engagement Communications Cogenerational Workplace
