Dr. Antione D. Smith, SPHR, SHRM-SCP
Senior Managing Partner & Founder
Dr. A. Davis Smith is committed to working with organizations of all sizes and in all industries to help them to help them to master Strategic Thinking to achieve real change. His data-oriented approach fosters the mastery of Business Strategy by organizational leadership to aid them in the successful accomplishment of organizational level strategic priorities through their work at the departmental level.
With his rare background, Dr. Davis brings to bear his more than 25 years of human resources management experience, his mastery of leadership coaching and professional development, and his research and analytical skills from his Ph.D. background to provide a specialized and unique approach to Strategic Leadership Coaching.
With his rare combination of competencies, a background rarely found in Leadership Coaches, Dr. Davis serves as the point person for all engagements and manages the firm's client relations, service agreements, and operations. He also coaches and advises business leaders at all levels on Strategic Thinking, develops and recommends approaches to better support corporate strategic priorities at the departmental level, and builds cultures focused on implementing strategy in everything that a client company does. His expertise includes leadership coaching, strategy, statistical data analysis, organizational development, employee relations, DEI, and the full range of HR operational activities. He is motivated by opportunities to ‘look under the hood’ of organizations to see where there is a lack of alignment between departmental operations and corporate strategic priorities and developing leaders who are capable of bridging the gap between the two.

PCC certification and holds a Ph.D. in Personality Psychology from the University of Michigan. He is also both SPHR and SHRM-SCP certified.
