After leaving public company CEO life, I chose to dedicate my time to helping senior leaders get unstuck on tough challenges. I’m so passionate about sharing this process with other leaders because I’ve seen the success it can produce first hand.

When I took over Atlanta-based Assurant Solutions in 2005, it was a $2 billion purely domestic business focused almost entirely on a dying industry: Credit Insurance. It didn’t take long realize I was stuck. For years, we had been on a roll, stacking one success atop the next. Then, we learned some hard lessons about the digital divide that was yawning in front of so many leadership teams.

Thankfully, right as I was facing this dilemma, I was presented with a new learning model that caught my attention - that is learning from others who have gone before you. It may sound simple, but these external experts came alongside our team and quickly transferred their knowledge and experience to help us go faster and execute a digital transformation strategy. Today, Assurant (NYSE: AIZ) is a dynamic, high growth, digitally-astute global provider of protection products and other innovative digitally-focused risk management solutions.

I was so blown away by the results, I decided to join GXG, the firm that shared this model with me. We’re committed to solving traditional consulting’s execution problem by curating intentional, focused conversations with expert operators who share the advantage of their knowledge and experience. These insights empower our clients to activate the best-fit solution and demonstrate measurable success, just like we did at Assurant. This learning model has applications within corporations as well as organizations like nonprofits, universities, and community groups.
