The most expensive risks on your board's agenda are human.

A failed CEO succession costs more than a bad quarter. A leadership team that can’t execute the strategy costs more than the strategy did. Boards see these risks late because they show up first in behavior and last in the numbers.

What I bring to a board

Thirty years advising enterprise leadership at Shell, Chevron, NASA, Bechtel, and the VA, grounded in original research linking leader behavior to organizational performance. I built and patented a prediction system that forecasts how an organization will perform based on how its leaders behave. That lens changes how a board oversees succession, culture, and executive risk.

Where I add the most value

Succession readiness and CEO transition. Human-capital and culture oversight. AI governance for companies deploying agentic systems, where boards need judgment kept in the loop as those systems take on real work. HR-tech, talent, and energy sectors are home ground.
