CEO Transition

A CEO’s first year is one of the hardest professional experiences there is.

New title, new scope, and a room full of stakeholders who each have their own read on who you are and what you stand for. I was part of the team that helped leaders execute Weber Shandwick’s Stakeholder Fluency for New CEOs program — because I’d seen too many capable leaders stumble in year one, not from lack of strategy, but from lack of preparation for that specific dynamic.

What I Offer

• First-100-days advisory and transition planning
• Arrival narrative and initial stakeholder positioning
