Connor's story

Connor's unique perspective is a result of a very unconventional route to the executive suite. Before entering the corporate world, he worked professionally as a journalist and editor, and lived abroad teaching English. While these experiences had little to do with the business world, they provided the opportunity for Connor to broaden his worldview and challenge his preconceptions, ultimately shaping his approach to building and serving the organizations he's built and for which he's served as a steward. 

After returning stateside, Connor entered the field that would occupy the next 15 years of his life, first as the CEO in a small association management firm, and then later (after selling his firm) as an executive in two of the best companies in the industry. In addition to giving him the opportunity to serve in virtually every role there is within organizations large and small, the real sum of those 15 years was the opportunity to hire, supervise and mentor hundreds of professionals.
