Theo Transformation Advisory Elevates Strategy and Innovation Chief to CEO

The move, part of a planned succession, sees founder Theo Theodosiou transitioning to chief practice officer as the firm aims to build on its mission of guiding organizations through transformative journeys.

Dallas-based Theo Transformation Advisory has appointed Michael Theodosiou as its new chief executive officer, succeeding Theo Theodosiou, the firm’s founder, who will continue as chief practice officer.

The advisory said that Michael Theodosiou has shown “exceptional leadership and strategic vision” throughout his tenure with Theo, improving the firm’s profile and future vision as chief strategy and innovation officer. It said he further solidified his leadership, driving transformation as president.

As CEO, Michael Theodosiou will lead Theo into its next chapter of success using a deep understanding of the firm’s mission and values, coupled with a forward-thinking approach that positions him to guide the organization towards continued excellence, the company said.

“Leadership’s relevance has never been greater in our post-pandemic world. Transformational leaders must rise to meet these challenges. It is an honor to lead this firm into a new era of impact and service. I am committed to partnering with our client-CEOs and leaders to elevate their organizations to new levels of prosperity,” Michael Theodosiou said in a statement.

Theo Theodosiou said it was a privilege to found and lead Theo over the last two decades.

“During that time, we have held fast to our commitment to serve others and a cause greater than ourselves,” Theo Theodosiou said in a statement. “I am delighted that such a talented, intelligent, and soulful leader as Michael has become our next CEO. He will guide the firm to great impact and to the advancement of the wellbeing of people and communities everywhere.”

Deborah Proctor, former client-CEO and current board chair, lauded Michael Theodosiou’s commitment.

“As a firm that accompanies many successful organizations on their transformation journeys, we recognize the importance of a leader who is passionate about our mission, committed to our values, and energized by our future. Michael is such a leader,” Proctor said.

Theo is a partner and adviser for CEOs, senior leadership, and governing bodies and said it accelerates clients’ paths to greatness via dynamic transformation journeys.
