JEFF POE

STRATEGIC ADVISOR & EXECUTIVE COACH

“You are not in the mountains. The mountains are in you.” – John Muir

If there was ever a quote that perfectly summed up Jeff, this would be it. Born and raised in Aspen, he discovered at an early age that nature was a source of both challenge and solace for him after his father passed away when he was just three years old. Whether he was outside chopping firewood for the wood stove, learning to rock climb, or repeatedly carving S-turns with his skis on an icy racecourse, Jeff learned that fresh air combined with physical exertion was a magical elixir that invigorated the body and opened the mind to innovative ideas and new perspectives. Nature has a way of breaking through comfort zones, sharpening our senses, and teaching us how to take calculated risks. During Jeff’s thirty years in the healthcare industry working for entities like HCA, US Oncology and MEDNAX, he has drawn on this lifelong connection to the outdoors to embrace uncertainty, explore alternatives to the status quo, and bring an outside-the-box perspective to the board room.
