Center for Creative Leadership Names David Altman Vice President & Managing Director CCL EMEA
The Center for Creative Leadership is a top-ranked, global provider of executive education. Headquartered in Greensboro, N.C. and supported by 600 faculty members and staff, its EMEA arm provides cutting-edge leadership development and research throughout Europe , the Middle East and Africa , including its offices in Addis Ababa , Johannesburg and Moscow .
Dr. Altman is executive sponsor of CCL's Leadership Beyond Boundaries work and a faculty member for the Leadership at the Peak program and Assessment Certification workshop. He also designs and delivers customized programs to a variety of global clients.
Prior to joining CCL, Altman served as Professor of Public Health Sciences and of Pediatrics at The Wake Forest University School of Medicine in Winston-Salem, North Carolina and as Senior Research Scientist at the Stanford University Center for Research in Disease Prevention in Palo Alto, California . From 1997-2000, he participated in the prestigious W.K. Kellogg Foundation National Leadership Program as one of 40 Americans selected. He has been involved in securing over USD 200 million in research-related grants and contracts..
" Dave Altman's diverse background and in-depth experience with all aspects of leadership development will serve as an excellent foundation for further building the CCL brand in the region," says CCL President and CEO John Ryan . "His commitment to future thinking about how to balance complex global challenges with country-specific needs are of particular interest to the EMEA market."
"With a long history in Europe and Asia , CCL is able to offer a truly global approach to innovative leadership development," Altman says.
A key issue on Altman's immediate agenda is the looming talent gap. "None of our clients think they have enough bench strength," says Altman. "To address this concern, CCL has created a robust talent development solution for investing in leadership across all levels of an organization."
This follows a general trend away from strategic consulting and towards what Altman refers to as leadership solutions. "If you don't foster a leadership culture at all levels of an organization, you will not have success," says Altman.
