Thompson Stimpel is the Founder & Managing Director of Proactive Business Improvements, LLC – a global business advisory group founded in 2002. As a transformational leader with more than 40 years of multi-product, multi-market, multi-national experience, Thom is acknowledged for his unique ability to convert “strategic concepts” into “operational realities”.
His ability to relate to and communicate effectively with a wide array of businesses stems from his unusually vast experience in a very broad set of businesses, vocations, organizations and roles. Thom has restructured global trade organizations, developed systems integration project management methodologies, overseen new product development teams, controlled the assets of a multi-million-dollar tech company, worked with the International Olympic Committee, and reengineered distribution processes for aerospace subcontractors. He’s also enjoyed success in more routine jobs – over 40 in all – like production planning and warehouse control systems, working in and supervising staff at fine dining restaurants, designing, implementing and managing ISO 9000 Quality Management Systems for manufacturers, selling insurance and investment products, driving a truck, building houses, and working on a cattle ranch. He jokes that being a cowboy was his favorite job, even though it only paid a dollar an hour and two meals a day. But his most bizarre job was working at a multi-faceted rural funeral home where he drove an ambulance and carved tombstones … a combination of roles which he teased his boss about being a potential conflict of interest.
