From building strong corporate cultures to managing risk and driving resilience, leadership is the cornerstone of lasting success.
What sets me apart is that I’ve developed this expertise from the ground up, in one of the most challenging industries and in the competitive heart of New York.
I understand the formula for thriving under pressure because I’ve lived it—and now I’m here to help others do the same.

Our Corporate Compass Formula is a differentiator. A result of over 20 years of hands-on leadership success. This proprietary framework goes beyond traditional assessments by providing deep, actionable insights into leadership and culture that drive lasting transformation.
Each of the five key pillars offers a unique perspective on leadership excellence and organizational resilience, leveraging our proven accountability tests, loyalty evaluations, and skip-level culture assessments. Together, these tools deliver a clear, strategic roadmap for sustainable change and long-term success.
The 5 Point Formula:
The Leadership Core
We assess authenticity, accountability, and self-reflection, ensuring leaders model the behaviors they expect and align with organizational values. Our accountability test measures how leaders own both success and failure to build trust.
Culture Catalysts
We uncover how leadership actions shape culture and team performance, exposing politics and favoritism that damage trust, and provide strategies to restore alignment and foster high-performing teams.
Empowerment Engines
We evaluate how leaders build loyalty and engagement through trust and growth opportunities. Our loyalty test ensures employees are committed to the mission, not just perks, fostering long-term success.
Visionary Resilience
We assess leadership’s ability to manage crises while maintaining a long-term vision. Our focus on cultural adaptability ensures resilience and growth through disruption.
Alignment in Action
Our skip-level culture assessment ensures leadership values are felt across all levels, fostering transparency, trust, and organizational alignment.
This comprehensive program spans several phases to allow organizations to transform leadership and culture from the ground up. The first phase includes an immersive workshop followed by ongoing coaching and assessments.

Testimonials
Tom Wipf, UBS
I’ve known Ed since the earliest days of his career. From the very beginning he has personified the moral compass and unwavering ethics that are emblematic of his career and his leadership. He works to earn the loyalty of his teams, he leads by example and builds successful organizations.
He is a uniquely powerful mentor. He sees his success based on the individual successes of every member of his team. Generous with guidance, accountable to his team and unshakable in his commitment to doing the right thing, Ed inspires outstanding performance through consistent, inspirational leadership.
Zeynep Kudatgobilik, Citi
Ed is one of the great examples of a very authentic and natural leader who cares about the culture organizations, firms and leaders create while investing in people and helping them find their own place as a leader.
Leadership is not just through words or books but real actions - a movement. Ed has never been scared to take actions, listen and support his friends, colleagues and family in every area and aspect they may need a direction. He is a talented storyteller, loves sharing anecdotes and pulls people in through his incredible enthusiasm, energy and genuine care and safety.
I truly believe whatever he sets his mind on he will succeed gracefully, and he will take people along on his journey. Success for him is never enough when it's just for Ed Clementi, but it's for his followers, colleagues and friends where he shares his wealth through his ever growing research, knowledge and ideas as well as empathy and courage.
At a time when there is crisis of leadership, lower levels of trust as well as diminishing humanity in the world, his new way forward will provide a fresh view of courageous leadership guided by a moral compass where we need to change our ways.
Alex Kornfeld, Morgan Stanley
What makes Ed so effective as a leader in the 17 years I have known him, is his genuine/authentic care for people and his ability to simplify any complex problem [and connect the dots] in a way that made you wonder how no one else did think of that solution.
Marcus Komm, Morgan Stanley
Ed is the real deal. I had the good fortune to witness his impact in both, his capacity as a leadership thought leader and problem solver as well as in his executive career. While Ed's passion for people and their untapped leadership potential runs deep and is infectious, his leadership principles and methods are backed up by an executive track record of creating powerful and tangible results.
I have witnessed first-hand Ed's ability to navigate firms through the most complex and thorny issues and solving the seemingly unsolvable, precisely by masterfully soliciting and harnessing the power of not only his own teams but that of the broader organization.
