Tom Doorley has spent his career helping leaders cut through the challenges they face. Operating at the intersection of strategy, leadership, culture, and governance, he has advised Fortune 500 boards, CEOs, and high-growth ventures through periods of massive change. 

 

As co-founder of Braxton Associates—successfully merged into Deloitte Consulting—and founder of Sage Partners, Tom brings decades of front-line experience and sharp, practical insight. His frameworks, from the Leader’s Change Agenda to the Decision-Ready Board, equip leaders to navigate change that is massive, fast, and long-lasting with clarity, confidence, and the wisdom to find relevant signaling within turbulent times. 

 

After a career advising senior leaders, Tom is now committed to sharing these lessons with a broader audience. What once lived inside boardrooms and strategy sessions Tom now makes available to leaders everywhere through his speaking, writing, and thought leadership.  

 

Tom is host of the podcast series Focus on Growth: Sage Insights, including the special series Navigating the Fog of Change™, where he explores the challenges and opportunities facing today’s leaders. He is the author of two books—Value-Creating Growth and Teaming Up for the 90s—and is a trusted advisor to global companies. Today, he brings a lifetime of leadership wisdom with a message designed for a world where certainty is scarce and the stakes have never been higher.
