Tom Voccola; Practice Leader Organizational Transformation and Patient Experience

The author of The Accidental CEO – A Leader’s Journey from Ego to Purpose, and the soon to be released The Mechanics of Magic – How to Fix Anything at Work, Tom is a visionary. As co-founder of CEO2, his goal is to inspire a new generation of leaders. Leaders who transcend ego and its fear based agenda, to experience the authentic fulfillment of Self and others by Co-creating A Game Worth Playing.

Tom’s success stems from his insatiable curiosity and his ability to translate esoteric principles into a language that can be understood by the rest of the world.

In 1979, he founded Griffin:Thomas Marketing Group, New Haven, Connecticut, one of the nation’s largest firms specializing in marketing communications and sales support for the growing Do-It-Yourself (DIY) Home Improvement Market.

In 1984 he expanded the company with G:T Human Resource Communications, Inc., that helped companies “Get, Motivate and Keep Good People”. A year later, long before it was fashionable to be “In Search of Excellence”, a new division evolved, focused on developing leaders throughout the corporate structure.

In 1989, at a national marketing conference at which they were both speakers, Tom met Frances Fujii, also a CEO. A long distance romance ensued and after making United Airlines stock climb for a year, Tom headed west to join his new wife, best friend and business partner in creating a dynamic new venture: CEO2 (Creating Extraordinary Organizations by Unleashing the Exponential Power of Purpose & Passion.)

CEO2’s Accelerated Transformational Technology brings organizations to the next level of their evolution with little of the traditional pain and drama. “Companies can expand and prosper,” says Voccola, “while at the same time provide a rich environment for career growth, self expression and contribution. At CEO2 we help leaders develop the extraordinary relationships they need to create the extraordinary futures they envision.”

Since 2005, Tom and his wife, Frances, have been the primary leadership facilitators for Project TRIUMPH, a non-profit organization bringing Middle Eastern Arab and Jewish teenage leaders together to co-create a more peaceful world.
