Before founding Lead To Change, Ted was a senior executive at Deloitte, where he had a 35-year career in various 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 and served as a long-time member of the executive and management committees. He possesses experience in developing transformative strategies, launching new businesses, acquiring and integrating companies, creating 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 collaborates with leaders at every level, from C-suite executives to frontline managers. He has partnered with leaders from Global 100 corporations to start-ups across a diverse array of industries, including financial services, technology, professional services, healthcare, higher education, public sector, and philanthropy. While Ted focuses on coaching leaders navigating industry disruptions, organizational changes, career shifts, and crises, he also supports leaders aiming to become more effective, compassionate, and ultimately impactful

Ted is currently pursuing a master’s degree in Applied Positive Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania and holds an executive certificate in Leadership Coaching from Georgetown University. He has a Professional Coaching Certification (PCC) from the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and is certified in several assessment tools, including the Leadership Circle Profile™, Hogan Assessments, and Center for Creative Leadership (CCL) Benchmarks©. He also earned 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, have been together for 40 years and have four grown children and two grandchildren. Ted enjoys being on the water—fishing offshore, fly-fishing in mountain rivers, or boating with friends and family. He also likes playing golf, even though he is making very slow progress in improving his game.
