About Us
Our Experience
Ed Muir Associates is led by Ed Muir, a highly effective business leader, especially in organizations engaged in transitional situations. His experience as a CEO ranges from publicly held, mid-size, multi-national corporations to entrepreneurial start-ups including those which have advanced to the venture financing stage.
In each of these roles, he has relied upon the same successful approach - one that is people-focused, straight forward and honest. Ed brings this same approach to his consulting clients. He relies on insights gained from a keen understanding of leadership and its impact on organizational dynamics with an uncanny ability to listen to people and ascertain core issues, and then communicate them in a way that is easily understood and actionable.
Our Clients
Ed Muir Associates provides organizations and their Boards of Directors with proven business leadership. He has worked in a broad spectrum of industries; mostly manufacturing environments.
While no two assignments are exactly alike, common characteristics defining those Ed has successfully engaged in the past include: businesses undergoing transitions, such as the acquisition or divestiture of a business unit, the need for a change in leadership, a change in ownership, or a significant investment by an equity fund; organizations comprised of many high-caliber, qualified people who need direction and strong leadership to realize theirs' and the organization's potential; companies needing to develop a compelling strategic direction backed with decisive plans and the leadership to execute them; and owners primarily interested in and committed to the growth and development of their organizations.
Ed has consistently received high ratings from the Boards of Directors governing those organizations with which he has been engaged.
