I have been working with Geoff for the better part of the past decade in the capacity of CEO of two private equity-sponsored software companies. In both instances, I asked Geoff to help my teams and I design our go-to-market strategy, as well as to help us to assess talent and shape culture to support the achievement of our business objectives. These are broad mandates, and at every turn, Geoff consistently exceeded my expectations. Geoff connects and inspires — both one-to-one and one-to-many. Geoff helps to instill the necessary courage and confidence to shift mindsets and catalyze transformation – he is truly gifted.

Jeff Stone, Private Equity Operating Partner & Board Member

Geoff has a way of pushing you past your comfort zone to make you critically look at how you have done things in the past.  The work will be uncomfortable at times,  he will push you and your team to places you have not been, constantly nudging you to change the paradigm, demanding that you do not settle for anything short of a radical shift in how you create and rollout cultural transformation.

Amy Landucci, Chief Digital and Technology Officer for GSK Consumer Health

Geoff is a gifted strategist with the rare ability to combine bold vision with pragmatic execution. He is an invaluable resource for any organization seeking a transformative strategic shift.

Pat Whalen, Chair of Spencer Fane

Geoff was brought in to my company (Nivalis) with a remit of helping us to form the operating principles of a company – it’s values, purpose, competitive advantage and construct. His approach and style, helped push myself and my team to dig deep and articulate an aspirational image of what might be and the path to achieve it. I have continued to work with Geoff and find his energy and enthusiasm are always matched with a practical application methodology.
