ABOUT CHRIS
Chris Simmons
C-Suite Executive Speaker. Executive Coach. Author. Career Intelligence Authority.
Chris Simmons rose to the top of corporate América. Head of Chairman’s Office Mergers& Acquisitions at PwC, one of the world's most prestigious professional services firms. Award-Winning National Inclusion Leader. Regional Managing Partner leading 3,000 Partners and Staff to drive $600 million in revenue. Chairman, US Partner Admissions Committee. Member, HR Leadership Team and Succession Planning Committee of the Board. He saw a lot from different perches.
Then he codified what he saw and wrote the book few know enough to write, and even fewer are willing to write. He will challenge accepted mantras directly. He will tell you what doesn't work and why. And he will give you something that actually does.
ONE OF CHRIS'S FAVORITE QUOTES— HIS OWN
"I have been with the outhouse people in Mississippi and lived with the White House people at Harvard. There is no difference in the quality of the two."
He knows that much of what happens to people is driven by their starting advantages. He believes the leveling force for all is knowing how to play the game — and the willingness to do so.
"Chris Simmons has a gift."
— BARBARA LEY TOFFLER
HARVARD BUSINESS SCHOOL, PROFESSOR OF ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOR
"No better leader to share provocative insights and proven outcomes on how leaders create a competitive culture."
— THE LATE RONALD C. PARKER
FORMER PRESIDENT & CEO, EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP COUNCIL
