More than 15 years of executive teaching across three institutional homes — Emory, Georgetown, and Michigan — for more than 30 client organizations in more than 20 countries. Every custom engagement begins with structured discovery; no generic curricula.
“I bring original empirical research on competitive strategy, human capital, and organizational equity into every executive classroom.”
An invariant three-part architecture with client-specific content. The centre of gravity is the back half — implementation, execution, and evaluation — where senior teams most often locate their unmet need.
The Opposite Test, as a diagnostic for real strategic specificity.
Every assumption named and testable before execution begins.
Signposts and signals set in advance; execution quality separated from strategy effectiveness; pivot, persist, or abandon.
Competitive strategy — formulation, execution, evaluation · Equity analytics — diagnosing disparities and evidence-based fairness · HR strategy at CHRO level · Ethical leadership · AI and data strategy · Strategic entrepreneurship · Sustainability.
Surfaces and quantifies the intent–execution gap between hierarchy levels, live in the room.
Strategic agility under market disruption; a live-actor simulation run over six days.
Real-time competitive positioning built from the room.
A diagnostic for strategic specificity — if the opposite is absurd, it is not a strategy.
Pre-specify when and how to evaluate, before execution starts.
One page: statement, narrative, and evaluation plan.
Three 30-day exercises participants run with their own direct reports.
C-suite advisory feedback with a 30-day cascade.
Four-phase adversarial double-coding at two time points, with intercoder reliability at Cohen’s κ ≥ 0.85. Learning objectives documented from primary sources. Multi-year engagements where each iteration is informed by evidence from the prior session.
Advisory work with the leadership of major sport and social organizations, where the research moved policy and practice.
