SAN DIEGO—Vistage has named Brant Houston Regional Executive and Michael Schwartz Regional Consultant in the Southern Region. A team of more than 20 executives in ten regions will support Vistage Chairs (professional advisory board facilitators and executive coaches), in a move that will make the Vistage experience accessible to even more CEOs, business owners, and key executives. The announcement was made earlier by Vistage CEO, Leon Shapiro.
Before joining Vistage International as a Chair in 2000 and, later a Best Practice Chair, Brant was President at BISYS Education Services and President, Chairman, and CEO of EXAMCO, Inc. He has a Bachelor’s degree from the United States Coast Guard Academy. As Regional Executive, he will act as catalyst by which all local and regional membership growth efforts will be initiated and managed.
Michael worked in Business Development and Inside Sales at Cor-O-Van Moving and Storage, before joining Vistage as Regional Membership Director in 2005. He was also a Financial Advisor at Armed Forces Financial Services. As Regional Consultant, he will be responsible for generating and qualifying member candidates and will implement and execute the company sales process across multiple channels within their region.
With more than 17,000 members worldwide and nearly 11,000 in the U.S., increased demand for the value provided by peer advisory boards prompted the new strategy unveiled in today’s announcement.
Vistage CEO Leon Shapiro stated, “Uncertainty in the economy, the complexity inherent in running a company today, and the emergence of a new generation of natural collaborators has prompted a resurgence of appreciation in the value of what we’ve been doing since 1957. We’re excited that Brant and Michael will be joining our team to meet the needs of our current members and to support the growing demand for Vistage services,” Shapiro added.
