Tim Lavery, founder and CEO
Tim began his career in management consulting, quickly developing a reputation as a trusted partner for leaders working to execute strategy and navigate change. After nearly 20 years leading client delivery and market development in the research and development community, Tim transitioned to the global asset management industry where he worked with leaders in North America, Europe and Asia. He continued to consult on organization development, team effectiveness and change while serving as a coach to leaders worldwide.
In 2020, Tim launched Wrench & Socket, fulfilling his long-held vision for building an independent practice that applies his consulting philosophy, shaped by a quarter-century of external and internal consulting and the hard-won lessons learned that came with it.
