Leadership

Our Executive Committee

The leader group of CoralPoint has evolved naturally, coalescing around sets of strong relationships within the partner group going back many years, even decades. Our differences are clear, found in the work we’ve performed, the training we’ve received, the positions we’ve held, all adding up to a Swiss-Army-knife-like combination of abilities empowering CoralPoint to tackle the varied and multi-dimensional problems that we regularly face, but more obvious are the similarities: our core values centered on respect for one another, passion for our work, and standards that only make us proud.
