EMI OLSSON
IBM Fellow, IBM

Curtis was my introduction to several practical applications of Agile including metrics, forming teams/squads, and creating a framework to scale agile at large companies. He is able to lead difficult cultural transformations, technology adoptions, and make the journeys meaningful to the teams and executives alike. Curtis is extremely responsive, provides well thought-out solutions, and is always open to collaboration. I enjoy working with him.

EXECUTIVE GROWTH
RON MYERS
Corporate VP, AMD

Curtis is an outstanding executive coach, leader, and consultant. His ability to ask the critical, thought-provoking questions is unparalleled. I really appreciated Curtis’ ability to cut through the ancillary and get to the root issue. His thoughtful questions and active listening skills really make a difference getting to real solutions rather than endless talk with no action. I hold him in the highest regard.

Curtis is a consulting thought-leader, and his skills & experience in Agile ways of working were essential as we continue to transform our organization and our clients to Agile. Curtis' combination of critical thinking and common sense/reality helped us not only formulate strategies, but more importantly execute successfully on those strategies. Personally he also exhibits the highest morals & ethics and is a role model for other consultants.

Curtis has been a tremendous asset to the organization and to me personally as an executive coach. As CIO, having a sounding board for strategic discussions is critical to working through the challenges in modern day business. Curtis has the experience and insight to quickly understand the root of the issues and then have a thoughtful discussion on strategic direction, planning and even assist with implementation. Curtis is always available, a pleasure to work with and I look forward to working with him again in the future.

Engaging, knowledgeable, topical, relevant- this is how Curtis runs the COO Forum. He is a fantastic facilitator. He is skilled at bringing out the expertise around the table as he keeps the conversation on track. Curtis is a thoughtful voice, can quickly get to the heart of the matter, and can speak from deep and varied experiences. He is quick to support thoughts and ideas with books, authors and theories. I look forward to COO Forum meetings every month, I find them very valuable for my work and personal development.

DON CANADA
Founder and Owner, Silicon Benefits

I met Curtis on a plane, and instantly picked up on his ability to listen and ask the right questions. The wisdom and insight that Curtis shared in our two hour flight provided me clarity and focus that I was able to immediately apply to my three year strategic plan. I realized that one of the best investments I could make would be to hire Curtis as a consultant, which I did; and I continue to be paid dividends in growth and focus. I recommend anyone who is an entrepreneur call Curtis.
