Background

About Stuart Kliman

I have had a long, successful and on-going career where I have been privileged to work across a variety of industries and contexts to do what I enjoy most - help people, groups and organizations work better together through more effective collaboration. That work includes driving and enabling partnerships and partnership capability building, leadership development, and culture creation. Contexts have included my founding and running a successful consulting and training organization (Vantage Partners) and - quite differently - as a co-founder of a private equity organization (Building Industry Partners) devoted to bringing true ownership - and importantly an ownership culture - to our holdings in the lower and middle market of the building industry.In addition to the above I have been lucky to work with various start ups, including PrescriberPoint (a health care firm focused on helping HCPs get and keep patients on needed therapies) and Our.Love - a firm that was focused on creating a new tech platform supporting happy and healthy relationships. I am also proudly on the Strategic Advisory Board of the Simmons Institute for Inclusive Leadership.Finally, I am working on a leadership book with two incomparable co-authors. It is called "All the Difference." My co-authors and my point of view is that "all the difference"(across all dimensions) in today's workforce is the source of incredible advantage if and as leaders can purposefully tap into it - and if they can't they and their organizations will fall behind those that can and do. Across these and other ventures I have been lucky to work with wonderful, collaborative and brilliant colleagues, thought leaders, operators and investors. To a one they have enhanced my life and practice.If you are interested in talking about any of the above, feel free to reach me at skliman@vantagepartners.com or skliman@buildingip.com. I am always up for discussing these and related issues!
