Background

About Beverly Gordon

In order to excel in today’s competitive business environment, a business leader needs a balance of strategy, problem solving, and team leadership expertise - backed by robust management skills. I combine over 2 decades’ experience leading NGOs, large-format stores, and pharmacy operations across a range of industries; making the forward-looking decisions that drive significant and sustainable business growth; empowering staff to successfully raise the bar in customer service, satisfaction, and retention; and driving change at the individual level to close gender gaps, break down barriers, unlock opportunities, and support under-served communities. I excel at designing and teaching business and project mangement curricula, developing people-centered strategies that propel significant business growth, serving my community through various leadership positions within nonprofit organizations, championing growth and change at the individual and corporate levels, building strong alliances and business partnerships, and bridging the gap between on-paper strategy and real-world execution. I believe a successful leader is primarily a people champion, and that getting people to see, understand, and build on their own potential is the essence of what true leadership is all about. I have the communication skills to clearly articulate my vision, persuade people to take action, and get the ball rolling in the right direction. Whether I’m sending out emails, communicating with a customer, presenting to a crowd, or anything in between; I communicate quickly, accurately and effectively. I am an empathic professional who communicates with patience, understanding and authenticity. Even when I disagree with coworkers, my diplomatic approach assures others that they are seen and heard — inspiring confidence and collaboration across the board.
