  • by J-D

Over the last 16 years or so I have worked with various CEO’s in various industries.  Some of them were at the helm of large corporates and others were pioneers of disruptive technology.  I have helped them understand the leadership imperative far beyond execution.  Our Newtonian world tells us that stuff is more important than being.
