Ron Carucci Biography

Ron Carucci is an executive leadership consultant, researcher, and bestselling author whose work has influenced organizational approaches to leadership, strategy, and transformation. Carucci is co-founder and managing partner at Navalent, collaborating with CEOs and executives on transformational change across organizations, industries, and leadership teams. With a career spanning three decades, he has assisted executives in addressing challenges related to strategy, organizational design, and leadership development, working with start-ups, Fortune 10 companies, non-profits, and government leaders. Carucci has operated in more than 25 countries on four continents, supporting initiatives such as leadership and culture overhauls, growth strategies, and global organizational redesigns.

Carucci's clients include CitiBank, Corning Inc., The Hershey Company, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Amgen, Deutsche Bank, McDonald's Corporation, Starbucks, Microsoft, Johnson & Johnson, ADP, and the CIA. He has extensive experience in the health sciences, biotechnology, healthcare, technology, consumer products, and retail food and beverage sectors. Carucci has also led large-scale merger integrations, culture change initiatives, and enterprise-level redesign projects. In addition to his consulting work, Carucci has served as an associate professor of organizational behavior at Fordham University Graduate School, as an adjunct at the Center for Creative Leadership, and as Professor of Leadership at the Seattle School of Psychology and Theology.

As a researcher, Carucci led a ten-year longitudinal study on executive transition, examining why more than half of leaders fail within their first 18 months of appointment. The study identified four key capabilities that distinguish successful leaders, findings detailed in the book "Rising to Power," co-authored with Eric Hansen. Carucci's work also explores leadership ethics in "To Be Honest," which examines how identity, accountability, governance, and cross-functional relationships influence honesty, justice, and purpose within organizations. He is the author of nine books, including "Rising to Power" and "To Be Honest: Lead with the Power of Truth, Justice & Purpose."

Carucci contributes regularly to Harvard Business Review, where Navalent's leadership research has been recognized among management ideas of enduring significance. He is also a contributor to Forbes and a two-time TEDx speaker, with one talk on power viewed over 1 million times. Carucci's work has appeared in Fortune, CEO Magazine, Inc., BusinessInsider, MSNBC, Businessweek, Fast Company, Smart Business, and ThoughtLeaders. He serves on the advisory board of Ethical Systems at New York University. Carucci's expertise in executive leadership, organizational transformation, and leadership ethics is reflected in his research, consulting, and published work.
