How Can I Help?

I’m Steve Welch. I advise CEOs and coach executives informed by my experience as a public company CEO and board member.

As a public company CEO, CFO, and member of nearly 20 boards, I've done what you do. I have turned around an NYSE company. I have hit the targets. I have made the cuts. I have had the hard conversations. So, I understand firsthand the pressures, demands and problems executives face. 

As a Board member I have counseled companies through acquisitions, successful exits and shifts in business strategy. My experiences as an executive, board member, and certified coach give me a wide perspective on business, as well as the art and science of leadership. Previously I was the CEO of Todd Shipyards for 14 years and the CFO of King Broadcasting.

People engage me as a board advisor, strategic advisor, or an executive coach.

How can I help you?

  • Board Advisor

    I have served on nearly 20 boards, and been an outside advisor to many more. I have significant M&A experience with public and private companies, having worked on a number of transaction teams. I am NACD Directorship Certified™.

  • Strategic Advisor

    CEOs or owners engage me as a strategic advisor when they face big or unusual issues that their usual circle lacks the experience base to address. I serve as a project-based thought partner, helping leaders gain perspective and clarity, as well as helping create a plan of attack.

  • Executive Coaching

    C-Suite Executives constantly deal with difficult issues, some of them unique to their role. I provide coaching from the perspective of someone who has actually been there. I am available as an unbiased partner to help you overcome your most difficult issues or achieve your most important goals.
