Innovation-Focused Executive Coach | Strategic Advisor to Founders, CEOs, and Executives | Founder of Point C | Director of Sulzberger Program at Columbia

You started at Point A. Now, you’re at Point B. To reach your big goal, you have to clarify Point C — the concrete vision for your next destination — and chart a course to get there. That’s where I come in. I’m Corey Ford, an innovation-focused executive coach and strategic advisor to founders, CEOs, and executives in media, tech, and entrepreneurship. I’m the Founder of Point C and the Director of the Sulzberger Executive Leadership Program at Columbia Journalism School. I coach leaders to clarify, test, and iterate on their strategic vision; communicate it in a way that secures buy-in, resources, and funding; and create cultures where teams can experiment, innovate, and grow. But more than that, my ultimate goal is to give leaders like you — who are committed to creating an extraordinary life — the tools, mindsets, and momentum to unlock your full personal and professional potential for all of the Point Cs to come. Beyond 1:1 coaching, I also work with leadership teams to facilitate strategic retreats, lead workshops, build custom accelerator programs, and help organizations design cultures of innovation that scale. My approach draws from a nonlinear career — building and scaling Matter Ventures, helping produce 17 documentaries for PBS FRONTLINE, teaching innovation at the Stanford d.school, training under one of the world's top leadership coaches at Stanford Business School, and leading executive programs for senior leaders in media at Columbia Journalism School. As your strategic advisor, executive coach — and occasional secret weapon — I help you elevate your leadership so you can take yourself, your team, and your company to Point C and beyond. If you’re ready to explore what your Point C could look like — and build what’s next — let’s connect. Book your first session at pointc.co — it’s on me.
