Front-Row Seat. Over Two Decades. Here’s What I Learned.
I grew up in Buenos Aires, came to North America as a young man, and built a career that took me from Bell Canada and Hewlett-Packard to Sun Microsystems — where I helped grow the company from $500 million to $7.5 billion in revenue across Canada, Japan, Asia, Australia and Latin America.
In 2002 I founded Carlos Fox Leadership. In 2004 I became a TEC Canada Chair in Ottawa. I never looked back.
For over two decades I have had the privilege of sitting across from CEO’s and senior executives at some of Ottawa’s most significant companies — not to tell them what to do, but to help them find the clarity, courage, and community to lead better. I have never been a CEO myself. I have come to believe that’s exactly why it works.
Since 2004 I have facilitated more than 700 full-day TEC sessions, conducted over 6,000 one-to-one coaching sessions with CEOs and senior executives, and led more than 60 member retreats — many of them including spouses, because great leadership doesn't stop at the office door.
I hold a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering and a Master's in Management Sciences with a focus on Organizational Behaviour Psychology from the University of Waterloo. My wife and I are proud parents of four children.
In 2022 I walked the Camino de Santiago — 800 kilometres across northern Spain. I documented the journey day by day. If you're curious about what a leadership coach thinks about when he's walking alone for 38 days, you're welcome to follow along.
