About Jacob Pittman

Good strategy delivers progress; great strategy positions a business - and its people - for long-term success. I believe strategy is not just about creating a plan, but about defining the why that gives it direction and purpose. Throughout my career, I’ve led strategy teams, M&A, and portfolio initiatives, with a focus on guiding high-impact decisions in complex business environments, including those serving the chemicals and resources sectors - experience that translates across industries. But here is where I am different - I measure success not by what I achieve personally, but by how I impact those around me. Leadership isn’t always about the loudest voice in the room; it’s often about the presence, example, and guidance that inspire others to contribute their best and align around a shared vision. One of my core strengths is creating an environment that elevates and unlocks the potential of individuals - when people feel invested in their work and are put in positions to be successful, they bring energy and commitment that change outcomes. Some of the most rewarding moments in my career have been watching teams thrive when given ownership and trust. I’ve seen firsthand how individuals step into their potential when their contributions matter - and how that collective momentum can transform a culture. These experiences reinforce my belief that leadership isn’t about the spotlight; it’s about setting the stage for others to shine and ultimately thrive. At the end of the day, I lead by shaping cultures that empower people so that teams do their best work - because that’s where real, long-term, sustainable value is created. I’m always open to connecting with those who share a passion for thinking different and unlocking the potential of people and organizations.
