Jack McGuire

A leader in turnaround management, Jack McGuire helped to revitalize a succession of companies, including the Red Cross. When the institution was reeling from a public relations crisis surrounding their performance in the onslaught of Hurricane Katrina, they selected McGuire as President and CEO to refocus the organization. Through his experienced leadership, effective external and internal communication, and leveraging the power of human capital, he made the necessary changes for the organization to regain its credibility and get back on track.

Drawing from his Harvard MBA education and his experience as a US Marine Corps Captain, McGuire demonstrated leadership under fire at not only the Red Cross, but at an earlier point in his lengthy career at Johnson & Johnson. As a consummate turnaround professional, he focused on aligning leadership and management, changing corporate culture, as well as developing and executing a strategic plan that helped to establish a new vision for each of the organizations.

With a diverse business background, McGuire has developed a full understanding of what it takes to change and grow an organization and how to create strength and success in the face of today’s challenges.
