Doug Cross

I engage, equip, and enable organizations to build stronger leaders and create high-performing teams.

As a John Maxwell Executive Director, certified speaker, trainer, and executive coach, I deliver practical, transformative leadership development experiences that drive engagement, retention, and performance. Whether I'm on stage delivering a keynote, facilitating a leadership workshop, or coaching senior executives, my focus is helping people lead with purpose and impact.

What sets me apart? Real-world leadership experience.

Before launching my coaching and training practice, I spent 25+ years in senior leadership roles with top Fortune 100 companies — including Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, and ConAgra/Pinnacle Foods. I led national teams in sales, customer insights, and operations, consistently exceeding growth targets and developing high-performing, collaborative cultures.

Now, I bring that same results-driven approach to the organizations I support — blending leadership theory with frontline-tested strategies to create lasting change.

Let’s talk if you’re looking to:

1.     Create and develop confident, capable, and exceptional leaders at every level

2.     Improve team performance and cross-functional collaboration

3.     Identify best candidates to hire based on your company culture and top performers

4.     Understand, improve, and embrace the generational diversity within your organization to get the most out of your team

5.     Strengthen your leadership pipeline through coaching and mentorship

Leadership growth is not optional – it is your competitive advantage…

Let’s build it together!
