As an executive coach, management consultant, and fundraiser with 20+ years of experience, Ed, Partner at Evolution, is passionate about supporting leaders in finding the best way to lead and serving as an accountability partner for Founders and CEOs.
Ed began coaching after recognizing the gap between leaders and their teams where leaders don’t fully and authentically connect with the real issues that motivate people. His focus is working with leaders and companies who are interested in understanding and changing their level of awareness to create alignment around organizational structure, goals, communication, and relationships.
Ed is constantly learning and widely influenced by his reading, work, and study of: Integral theory, Spiral Dynamics, Enneagram typing, mindfulness practices and immigrant identity work. One of his passions is to coach and mentor leaders at non-profit organizations who advocate for patients with rare diseases.
In addition to his work as a coach, he co-founded a boutique consulting firm dedicated to helping organizations grow from product conceptualization through launch to healthy sustainable growth. Prior to coaching, Ed was a senior level executive responsible for launching life-altering products and building sustainable brands. Ed formerly worked at Johnson & Johnson and grew through J&J’s Marketing Excellence program and led the organizational development and training for his division. He has experience working with all levels within organizations and from large corporations to pre-IPO startups (Expression Diagnostics, ViaCord, COR Therapeutics, NephroNet).
Ed has East Coast “DNA” and loves the natural West Coast life after graduating from Boston University. He also holds a MBA from Pepperdine University and is devoted to his wife and two daughters in the Bay Area.
