EVERY CEO NEEDS A CULTURE CONSIGLIERE

Boards, CLOs, and PR teams handle what they know. I handle what they can’t see, the cultural

risks that put Revenue, Reputation, and Retention on the line.

THE TRUTH ABOUT CULTURE 
LEADERSHIP & RISK.

Most companies get CULTURE wrong. 

Your CLO manages legal. Your CHRO manages talent. Your CMO manages the brand message. And PR manages the perception.


But none of them manages culture as risk.

​

That’s the blind spot. And it’s why companies with billion-dollar budgets and world-class teams still collapse under cultural backlash.

​

This is where the Culture Consigliere steps in.

​

I’m the advisor CEOs retain to anticipate cultural threats before they detonate. I see what the room can’t, how tension, identity, politics, and power collide, and I translate that into a strategy that protects revenue, reputation, and retention.

​

Culture is America's new battlefield; businesses are already on it. Ignore that, and you lose. 

​

In Black is NOT a Credential: The Corporate Scam of DEI, I show executives the risk of not having the right advisors and what it means in the current business landscape.

Culture Is the
Crisis

Mass resignations, morale collapse, PR disasters, none are  random events. They’re cultural fractures your team didn’t catch in time. Ignore them, and they stop being signals. They become your headline.

Changing the
Language Doesn’t Change the Risk

Renaming DEI to “Belonging” or “People & Culture” isn't a strategy. #CancelCulture doesn’t care what your department is called. Exposure lives in behavior, leadership choices, and perception. If no one in the room can read that, you don't stand a chance.

Diversity Isn’t a Department

Treating diversity like HR’s paperwork guarantees financial and reputational loss. Diversity is a leadership competency. When the top team doesn’t have it, the brand is exposed customers
will call the bluff.

Black Is NOT a Credential: The Corporate Scam of DEI is a WAKE-UP Call for CEOs.

DEI wasn't the problem, and neither was culture. Poor implementation of DEI and culture was the problem.


Black Is NOT a Credential exposes the myths, missteps, and performative nonsense that drained billions in budgets while leaving CEOs more exposed than ever.

​

Instead, it replaces them with a framework built for profitability, integrity in leadership, and long-term sustainability.

CEOs ARE LOSING
TO CULTURE. 

Culture is treated like a side project when it’s the battlefield corporations are already on. And here’s the truth: your executive team is smart, credentialed, and still blind to the risks that take down billion-dollar brands.

​

That’s why CEOs need a Culture Consigliere.

​

I partner with leadership teams to:

  • Anticipate cultural backlash before it detonates.

  • Translate invisible tension into decisions that protect Revenue, Reputation, and Retention.

  • Give CEOs the clarity their CLO, CHRO, and CMO can’t provide.

 

Bud Light, Target, Planet Fitness, and Cracker Barrel all said, “We’ve got it handled.” They didn’t. Cultural intelligence isn’t taught in MBA programs, nor is it part of boardroom discussions.

​

The Consigliere role exists for one reason: to protect the leader and the brand legacy when the rest of the room doesn’t see the threat.
