Meet Jeff Roth, Leading Edge CEO & Founder

I believe that nobody should settle for anything less than what they most deeply desire. Let’s talk about the leader you want to be and what you want from your career. Let’s partner to activate your awareness and develop the agility to design and capture the opportunities you want for yourself.

With more than three decades of deep expertise that combines corporate finance with mentoring, leadership development and coaching, Jeff Roth leads a successful and award-winning executive coaching and training practice.

Jeff founded Leading Edge to be a strategic partner to smart companies who know that thriving in disruptive environments depends on the effectiveness of their leadership development efforts. That success in turn is determined by developing leaders who demonstrate:

  • Robust self and situational awareness.

  • Resilient and confident decision-making in uncertain times.

  • Perseverance in managing change and bouncing back from adversity.

  • Consistent high performance in all situations.
