Who Are We
Dr. Jodi Knox
For over 24 years, Dr. Jodi Knox has guided and supported global Fortune 50 clients across the pharmaceutical, healthcare, manufacturing, and technology sectors with their strategies for developing elite leadership talent. Jodi approaches her clients’ needs based on her own experience as a business executive, having held P&L responsibilities and management roles within the international communications and information technology sectors. She blends contemporary organizational psychology with the practical fundamentals of leadership to shape the most relevant support for each leader.
Jodi is well-regarded for her business-based diagnostic skills and her ability to facilitate pragmatic forums and capability building strategies that drive measurable leadership growth.
