Welcome to Greater Good Consulting, a sole practitioner agency based in Northern California. Our core value is based on the life and work experience of our founder, John Adams.
John transitioned into the nonprofit sector in 2009, after 25 years of global leadership in the corporate world. John's intention is to help nonprofits find that critical balance between "business" and "mission" and assist them in implementing practices that better serve their stakeholders. |
John Adams, M.A. |
John's first job after school was selling large technology solutions in New York City. It was the start of a corporate career that led to executive leadership positions in Fortune 1000 companies. During a 15-year tenure with one firm, he ultimately became vice president and general manager of a strategic business unit that spanned four continents.
John was always involved with large complex systems projects, requiring long-term relationships based in trust. It is that same critical ingredient of trust that empowers true servant leadership, and is the basis for meaningful engagements with a variety of constituents including donors, board members and other strategic partners. Life circumstances put John in the position of becoming an advocate for his own child with schools, doctors, therapists and a litany of other professionals. That powerful experience these past 20 years, has transformed his life and with it his personal and professional priorities. Ultimately, it has also put him on a path to both lead and consult to nonprofit organizations for the past decade. Therefore, what John brings to the nonprofit community is that unique perspective of having been in your shoes. He understands your challenges. John has a real-world appreciation for what matters to you, your staff, volunteers and board. At the same time, his for-profit leadership experience also informs his perspective. We are excited to have the opportunity to share that unique experience with others who seek to transform the world for the greater good, through the nonprofit community. |
