Chuck Garcia
Chuck Garcia is the founder of Climb Leadership International and coaches executives on leadership development, public speaking, and emotional intelligence. He is also an Adjunct Professor at Columbia University where he teaches Leadership Communication in the Graduate School of Engineering.
A 25-year veteran of Wall Street, he spent 14 years in sales and marketing at Bloomberg in a variety of leadership positions. He was Director of Business Development at BlackRock Solutions, an arm of the world’s largest investment manager, and was a Managing Director at Citadel, a prestigious alternative investment manager.
“Chuck Garcia was a breath of fresh air! So many conferences tend to pick executive level people to talk about their company and that gets dry. I hope that you’re able to continue bringing a keynote speaker that leaves you energized like I felt.”
