TOM’S BIO

One week ago, Thomas Monahan was announced as the new CEO of Heidrick & Struggles International, Inc. (NASDAQ: HSII), one of the preeminent global executive search, leadership development, and management consulting firms. Previously, Tom served as CEO and President of DeVry University until Oct 2023 and remains the organization's Vice Chairman. Prior to that, he served as Chief Executive Officer of Corporate Executive Board (NYSE: CEB), now Gartner, which acquired CEB for $2.6 billion. He also served as Chairman of ProKarma and is currently a board member of Transunion (NYSE: TRU). Early in his career he was a consultant at Deloitte and Andersen Consulting. Tom’s career has been spent engaging, leading and governing organizations that leverage innovative technology, robust data, and exceptional people to inflect business performance, improve individual lives, and produce healthy and just societies. He is also Managing Partner of Norton Street and served on the boards of Winsight, Workforce Logiq, Convergys.

I had the pleasure of serving with Tom on the Board of Trustees of The Nature Conservancy and is a good friend. He is, by far, one of the most thoughtful and strategic business people I have come across and his professional journey started working in the family business, a carnival. This episode’s segments about leadership and the future of higher education are, respectively, terrific distillations of the essence of world-class leadership and the dynamics affecting the higher-education sector.

The episode was recorded before his role at Heidrick & Struggles was announced.
