I founded E. Louis International, where I assess and advise CEOs, CFOs, founders, executive teams, boards, and investors on the human factors behind execution, leadership risk, and performance under pressure. Across 550+ executive and founder engagements—approximately 70% at the C-suite level—I use The Root Protocol to turn psychometric data, structured interviews, and behavioral analysis into measurable development priorities.
My work includes Leadership & Character Due Diligence for capital commitments, acquisitions, board seats, and senior hires, as well as executive transition, succession, organizational effectiveness, and talent strategy advisory. I’ve supported leaders through board pressure, ownership changes, acquisitions, and capital raises, including a $10M+ multi-round raise, while documenting progress through reassessment rather than assertion.
