I am an ICF certified executive coach with an MBA from Harvard Business School. With 35 years of experience in operations leadership, I specialize in coaching clients with significant people responsibilities, helping them grow as leaders, navigate complex organizations, and implement change.
My clients attribute their leadership breakthroughs to the synergy of my extensive experience and a pragmatic coaching approach. They appreciate that I'm approachable and find value in engaging with a coach who has overcome similar career challenges successfully. This combination forms the cornerstone of my coaching philosophy and the key to our mutual success.
Focus on increasing leadership presence and fostering team relationships for client to be successful in new executive position.
Coached leader on transitioning from being a hands-on implementor to being a strategic leader.
Coached Marketing manager on how to better engage and empower his team for increased innovation.
Coached director on transitioning from existing role in a long-term care facility to new role as leader of a new service for the organization.
Coached seven school principals who faced the unique challenge of restoring staff morale following the return to school post-COVID.
Coached scientists to develop director-level leadership skills and strategic organization planning, enabling them to spearhead the company's scaling efforts.
I provided leadership and direction to a workforce of 1,800 employees spread across six facilities in both the United States and Thailand. A significant part of my contribution involved playing a pivotal role in the transition of the organizational design. We shifted from high-volume, low-performing SKU manufacturing to a high-complexity, responsive manufacturing model. Additionally, during my time at Acushnet, I was responsible for overseeing all HR staffing and onboarding procedures for a substantial $70 million international expansion project. This endeavor required recruiting 100% of the essential international staff, ensuring the success of the expansion.
As the leader of Acushnet’s factory startup in Thailand, I managed all aspects of the project, including site selection, engineering, logistics, manufacturing, and delivery. The project was delivered successfully in alignment with organizational objectives, legal requirements, and completed on time and under budget. Additionally, I developed a $120M five-year capital investment growth plan at Acushnet, securing approval from the board of directors through effective communication of key changes, process improvements, project timelines, and investment strategies. This facilitated an informed decision-making process.

I worked with Bill for about a year, which was my first time working with a coach. Bill definitely exceeded my expectations. He listened to what I needed but also provided me with direction and gave me tools to work with.
