Lithograph portrait of Tony Colvin

Tony Colvin helps executives and leadership teams find their rhythm and restore organizational momentum. He works with capable leaders whose growth has begun to stall under blurred priorities, weak accountability, misaligned roles, or the constant pressure of daily firefighting. Together, they clear the friction, strengthen alignment, and build the discipline required to turn a compelling vision into sustainable progress.

Tony brings more than two decades of experience across global corporations, entrepreneurial ventures, nonprofits, and ministries. His background includes leading high-performing teams at Dell, helping midsize businesses prepare for successful exits, serving as Chief Operating Officer at Stallion Capital Management, and serving as Vice President of Operations at Affair Recovery. An Army National Guard veteran, he brings an operator's commitment to accountability and follow-through without losing sight of the people doing the work.

His coaching combines operational discipline with relational intelligence. Tony uses tools including the Enneagram, Working Genius, and CliftonStrengths to reduce personality guesswork—not to put people in boxes. His goal is to help leaders understand what is actually creating friction, put the right people in the right roles, and build cultures where directness, trust, and strong performance reinforce one another.

Outside the boardroom, Tony is most at home saltwater fishing along the Texas coast, hiking state and national parks, or exploring local wineries. He holds an MBA and a Bachelor of Business Administration, summa cum laude, from Concordia University Texas.
