Tom Cummings
Strategic Advisor
Entrepreneurial Founder. Executive Board Member. Senior Management Adviser to senior leaders in more than 30 countries over 30 years. Creative partner and thought leader for strategic visioning, business performance and leadership excellence in charitable foundations.
Tom brings a rich combination of experience, having consciously worked throughout his career from three perspectives: Entrepreneurial Founder of companies and inter-company alliances; Senior Executive in global companies; and an intellectual driver, adviser and board member in academe and charitable foundations. This experience gives him an unusual ‘pracademic’ perspective, and he is known for his ability to translate abstract ideas and concepts into useful plans and actions, bring new insights, sharp contrasts and fresh perspectives to his client engagements.
During his experience as a change agent working in senior executive roles in Unilever, ABN AMRO Bank, and Shell International, Tom applied his expertise as a planner and social systems thinker to design new forms of engagement team and organization learning. It was here that he learned that to influence change one needs to influence the context, relationships and inner landscape of leaders. For 25 years he has applied his craft to the cutting edge of mainstream business challenges facing hundreds of companies
Tom has worked with leading systems shifters including the Tallberg Foundation, Rocky Mountain Institute, Active Philanthropy and today is a founding designer of the CEO roundtable of the Global Alliance for Banking on Values and serves as board member of the B Corp Global
