Operations Executive.
Leader.
Throughout Lonny Sternberg’s career, he has served in different capacities as a leader, team builder, and coach. He has mentored individuals, strengthened business groups, and steered entire organizations to outperform expectations and drive change.
When thinking about leadership and its impact on a business and the community at large, Lonny considers his contributions and priorities, such as his passion for strategy, program design, and implementation—and his focus on creating environments where people love to work.
During Lonny’s tenure as a senior operations executive, he has guided organizations that serve other businesses, and ultimately support the community. The companies themselves did their part to have a positive effect on today’s world. One of his employers—a start-up that grew into a publicly traded company—radically improved website accessibility. Another firm deployed essential communication services to growing businesses, and another formulated a robust B2B network to deliver fresh, organic foods.
Lonny Sternberg has tried to make a tangible difference as well. In fact, if there’s a theme in his career—one that weaves through his entire professional life—it’s his commitment to empowering, enabling, and supporting people in a way that has a ripple effect in society, creating a better world.
Lonny believes that all people are extraordinary, and it’s the leader’s job to remind individuals of this fact. It’s also the leader’s responsibility to provide his or her team the space, tools, and courage they need act in extraordinary ways every day.
Lonny makes it a priority to build operational structures and shape cultures that reward collaboration, thrive on diversity, and encourage personal and professional growth. He listens and establishes open lines of communication. In addition, Lonny strategizes, empowers, and actively mentors individuals: standing shoulder-to-shoulder with staff, managers, and executive peers to pinpoint gaps, solve problems, and overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles.
As a result, Lonny Sternberg has contributed to outstanding growth—not just for businesses, but also for individuals. His colleagues and team members consistently break down barriers, advance their careers, and achieve peak performance while learning about themselves.
A company can make a world-altering product and its impact can be remarkable. An employee who outshines his or her own expectations to reach a new level of success can be game-changing as well. Lonny wants to continue to bring companies and people together by making a lasting difference as a business builder, a leader, a mentor, and as a human being.
