Jim Kibler
Founder, CEO and Managing Member
My career spans government, politics, law, policy, business operations, and corporate governance, and I've witnessed a tremendous amount of change in the way that stakeholders interact The most successful organizations are those that take the effort to find great ideas, and then look for great partners -- usually stakeholders with whom they haven't traditionally worked. That hard work results in terrific outcomes, if the focus is on common goals.
Over the years I've built a network of truly good people, a cohort that spans all demographics, and I have modeled with them how things should work in our approach to issues and opportunities. We've all learned together and continue to -- because the common ingredient to every successful outcome we've enjoyed starts with understanding common ground, and a vision of shared future. We're committed to work together. We all love to win, together.
This is my life's work. I've helped the organizations that I've led to achieve great outcomes by looking around corners and finding ways to engage and build allies, and I am focused on sharing that approach with others.
