Meet our CEO Coach – Angela Verdin
Guiding business leaders to greater success.
Barry Slawter
BACKGROUND
During a 25-year career in asset management, Barry advised and coached large institutional investor teams, CEOs, and other C-suite executives. His international leadership experience ranges from team building and process improvement to global management, and from marketing and business development to brand strategy.
Barry launched an executive coaching practice in 2008. He thrives off being a catalyst, helping business leaders identify new growth paths, optimize decision-making, and turn awareness into opportunity. He is a creative thinker and an experienced group facilitator, often acknowledged for an ability to help individuals be at ease and find their best. Barry also coached youth baseball athletes for more than 7 years, frequently with professional training organizations. Through this, he became a student of coaching the mental game with athletes. Barry believes this experience offered invaluable growth, a fresh lens on coaching and leadership, and universal lessons about mindset, awareness, and communications.
As an investment professional, Barry holds several active FINRA registrations and the Certified Investment Management Analyst® designation, an advanced professional mark for investment consultants and private wealth advisors serving institutions and ultra high net worth clients.

The rewarding part about being a chair is working with the members and watching the growth over time that they can’t even see.

I’m a huge believer in the power of a group. Vistage combines this with the opportunity to work with high-performing CEOs and entrepreneurs. Together we create growth and value for each member, their employees, their families and their entire community.
George Glover
Vistage Chair since 2016
As a CEO, I was blessed to have worked in five countries on three continents, and I thought that just the impact on people I’ve worked with and led was life-changing. But to be able impact those who I don’t directly work with—and their organizations—has been life-changing.
Allen Hauge
Vistage Chair since 1994
The life of a Chair for me has been extraordinarily rich. If you have any orientation toward learning, it’s the best learning experience you will have as an adult, hands down.
Chair Guillermo Hysaw fought racism on the football field and persevered through Jim Crow. He became a pioneering auto exec and, ultimately, a leader of leaders.
Arturo Lopez
Vistage Chair since 2014
My approach to Chairing is firm, compassionate and resolute. I come from a military background and have worked hard to be an agile Chair. I help my members bring a warrior mindset to challenges so they’re prepared to face anything.

It’s not just helping them be more successful, it’s not just helping them make more money, it’s helping them be a better person.

What unleashes individual’s motivation? What gets team members focused, collaborating and acting effectively for a shared purpose? What keeps organizations productive and agile? These are the questions that drive my passion as a business leader and trusted advisor.

I work with CEOs individually and in a peer advisory board format to help them lead more strategically, effectively and substantially on both personal and professional levels. I am passionate about calling forth a leader’s clarity and courage to act boldly in advancing their business.
