Prior to founding Lead To Change, Ted was a senior executive at Deloitte – where, over a 35-year career, he served in a variety of executive leadership roles, including - Global Cyber Services leader, Chief Strategy, Innovation & Technology Officer, Managed Services & Products leader, and Financial Services Industry leader. He has built and led large teams of people. He served as a long-time member of the executive and management committees. He has experience developing transformative strategies, launching new businesses, acquiring and integrating companies, developing innovative solutions and technologies, and serving some of the firm’s largest global clients. Ted continues to coach and mentor several of the firm’s current and former executives.

Ted believes that great leaders can make a profound impact on the people, communities, and organizations they serve. The most important lesson Ted learned over his long career is that to achieve sustainable success, individuals and organizations must adapt and change. And he chose executive coaching because it is a powerfully effective way to develop leaders who can thrive in a complex and changing world. For a leader, making a mindset shift is what’s most often needed to leap forward. Ted learns what’s needed based on each client’s unique circumstance and works with them to facilitate the shift. As an executive and team coach, facilitator, consultant, and trusted advisor, Ted helps clients build and execute plans to meet their goals.

Ted works with leaders at all levels, from C-suite executives to frontline leaders. He has worked with leaders of Global 100 corporations to start-ups – in a wide range of industries including financial services, technology, professional services, healthcare, higher education, public sector, and philanthropy. While Ted specializes in coaching leaders facing industry upheavals, organizational transformations, career transitions, and organizational crises, he works with leaders who want to be more effective, compassionate, and ultimately more impactful.

Ted has an executive certificate in Leadership Coaching from Georgetown University. He holds a Professional Coaching Certification (PCC) from the International Coaching Federation (ICF). He is certified in several assessment tools, including the Leadership Circle Profile™, Hogan Assessments, and Center For Creative Leadership (CCL) Benchmarks©. He holds a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in Economics from The College of New Jersey.

Ted lives in Mendham Township and Long Beach Island, New Jersey. He and his wife, Karen, of 39 years, have four grown children and two grandchildren. Ted enjoys being on the water — fishing offshore, flyfishing on mountain rivers, or boating with friends and family. Ted also enjoys playing golf despite making very slow progress toward improving his game.
