Bill Anthony, after 25 years of corporate and advisory experience, was increasingly being invited to coach executives on a one to one basis. Bill's distinct experience is with senior managment in private companies, often PE or VC backed, and his deep expertise with family businesses. He is particulaly adept in conflict management, relationship building and seeing the bigger picture. Every coaching scenario is bespoke and entirely confidential.
