The unique and highly effective approaches employed by these brands to develop CDOs, ERG/ BRG leaders, and Executive Sponsors are informed by Joe’s own broad experience, which includes running a highly profitable, New York City-based, 300-employee outsourcing business for Siemens Business Services where he increased profitability by leveraging the growing diversity in his workforce and job candidate pools and improving their training and development. Later, he led a national training, leadership, and organizational development team where he replicated his success in finding and developing leaders from across all demographics throughout the entire 5,000-plus employee division.

After being appointed by Siemens to design a strategy for leveraging their rapidly diversifying 65,000-strong U.S. workforce operating in different business units brought together via acquisitions, Joe led a groundbreaking initiative that significantly enhanced the company’s competitive edge. His achievements in this role included strengthening Siemens’ ability to win and retain a growing multi-million-dollar portfolio of federal and state contracts while expanding its already vast private-sector client base. He also drove initiatives that reduced costly turnover gaps across demographic groups, delivering millions in savings. He also improved operational efficiencies by fostering stronger practice alignment and collaboration across the company’s business units.

After leaving corporate leadership, Joe co-founded and led influential think tanks and executive development groups for CDOs from globally recognized and respected companies. Today, he is the foremost voice and thought leader in developing CDOs, ERG leaders, and Executive Sponsors who are laser-focused on driving measurable business impact. Through his cutting-edge insights and strategies, he equips these leaders to deliver tangible, high-value results that grow revenue, cut costs, strengthen their organization’s market position, improve operational performance, and position their companies for long-term growth.
