Who Craig works with

How Craig works
Craig implements EOS with leadership teams. He draws on his own time in the Visionary and Integrator seats to work through the friction between those two roles. As a Certified Exit Planning Advisor, he ties how the company runs on an ordinary day to what it is worth when the owner leaves. He stays involved while the team makes the fixes.
Background and qualifications

Since then he has run EOS inside five companies, led complex turnarounds, launched tech ventures, and served as President and COO of a global consulting firm. He holds the CEPA certification.
