Bio
Ken Wheatley MA, CPP
My staff and I have enjoyed working with Brian for several years in support of his various responsibilities at Sony. I've always been impressed with the time and effort he expends to maintain collaborative relationships with the various business groups. He clearly understands that financial and operational success in a matrix culture requires mutually beneficial relationships. He's also well-known in the company as the go-to problem solver, firefighter, and turn-around specialist.
