As a West Point graduate and former leader of elite Army Special Operations units as well as a Harvard MPA/MBA, a McKinsey & Company leadership consultant and an official in the Obama Administration, Ray has over 30 years of leadership experience.
While it’s widely recognized that talent is a key determinant of realizing organizational success, what’s less common is the ability to provide talent developmental programs with near-term impact that sustains itself over the long-term. In both short and longer term customized leadership development engagements, Ray demonstrates this ability, which is attested to by client testimonials. These programs range from transformational offsites to extended, organization-wide, global leadership and talent development initiatives.
Ray specializes in working with teams, organizations and family businesses in both Leader Development and Leadership Development.
