Leaders and employees have heard what they
should be achieving. What they need is someone to help them determine the tactics and actions of the “how”.
Chris Simmons is a proven veteran of leadership at scale — not a student of it. He led and grew a $600 million with hundreds of clients and 3,000 partners and employees over multiple cities, sat on an 18-member Governing Board during a period of historic and transformational growth, and spent decades proving that the right moves, applied with precision, change everything.
Unparalleled ability to engage and inspire an audience." — Yvonne Garcia, ALPFA Chair
