Loyola University Maryland’s Sellinger School of Business and Management hired Bluewater Advisory, LLC, owned by Mark Debinski, a Baltimore business consultant and executive coach. The firm will provide executive coaching services for the Executive MBA and MBA Fellows programs at the Sellinger School beginning Sept. 1.
Debinski, a 1995 graduate of Loyola’s MBA program, will serve as a consultant leading the formation of the programs’ student teams, as well as mentor students in addressing group dynamic and communication issues relevant to their classes and work environments.
Debinski, a former managing partner a Jacoby LLC, a Baltimore-based executive coaching and business growth advisory firm, has more than 20 years experience providing consulting services to business and non-profit organizations in a wide variety of industries, including banking, professional services, technology, academia, logistics, and distribution. He also has extensive experience in situational coaching and use of the DISC assessment tool—a four-quadrant model based on the work of the American psychologist and writer William Moulton Marston, Ph.D.—to examine the behavior of individuals within a specific situation.
Debinski left Jacoby in June 2010 to launch Bluewater Advisory, a consultancy providing strategic leadership guidance to boards of directors for firms nationwide. He also advises companies on organizational development, profitability for closely held firms, mergers and acquisitions, succession management and exit planning, improving corporate performance, increasing morale and workforce engagement, driving sales, and improving client satisfaction.
