Art's Thought Leadership
What Matters Most! on YouTube


Art's perspective has been acquired from thirty years of experience across the spectrum of his profession, many of those years living and working in the vibrant innovation community of Boston's Route 128 tech beltway as well as in Washington, DC. Together with his pioneering clients, who were eager to re-order many of the old paradigms, they navigated through the swings of dramatic change for the U.S. tech world and the global business landscape.

Having been involved in sustainability (via 'environmental management' then) and "CSR" during the seeding years of what is now the embodiment of the responsible business movement in Corporate Integrity-Impact (ESG), Art has originated and/or collaborated on groundbreaking industry research and thought leadership as well as business processes and trainings. His clients have been central players in the business, technology, and nonprofit advancements seen across a wide range of industries.

He has served as an advisor to a diverse range of senior executives and organization leaders, supporting the M&A process, providing guidance during business or industry upheaval, and complementing the work of corporate counsel during legal or reputational challenges.

As Management Consultant
Art headed Corporate Development for a Boston-based management consulting firm focused on global supply chain transformation for Fortune 1000 market leaders. Working with the CEO he conceptualized and built out a new functional unit, playing a key leadership role in the firm’s turnaround. He drove development of a next-generation supply chain methodology, framed within sustainability principles, that helped double sales revenue. That IP then became the firm’s brand moniker and market identity, enabling the CEO to later exit at an exceptional multiple.

Prior to that opportunity, Art was Founder and President of Stewart Strategies Group LLC, an independent firm that mostly operated out of Boston. SSG was ahead of its time in developing integrated, multi-disciplinary capabilities grounded in robust analysis that redefined the fundamentals of strategic marketing practice into broader organizational contexts. The firm consistently attracted private companies and family-held middle market pioneers or disruptive innovators as clients in twenty-plus sectors with a track record for exceptional quality and rapid response service.

As Public Relations and Media Executive
Art held posts with New England’s third-largest communications agency Mullen, assigned to their largest PR account Hewlett-Packard Medical Products Group as well as Sheldon Adelson’s The Interface Group – a conference industry leader and creator of COMDEX, the largest technology event in the world. He also served in Account Management roles for two of New England's largest television/film/multi-media production companies.

Art's early career in classical music radio earned him two Excellence in Broadcasting awards from the Pennsylvania Association of Broadcasters: one for an investigative report on Acid Rain, the other for a two-hour documentary on Washington National Cathedral.

As Educator, Trainer, and Facilitator
Art has led a range of organizational development facilitations. As an educator, he researched and developed a multi-level curriculum and content platform on the “New Responsibility Paradigm” – launching the undergraduate edition at Emerson College. Art was also one of only five faculty members at Emerson invited to teach a visiting delegation in a summer residency from the Communications University of China. He has held an honorary role as a Research Fellow at the Hoffman Center for Business Ethics at Bentley University and taught graduate students at Northeastern University.

As Corporate Integrity/ESG Futurist, Speaker, and Writer
Art writes and speaks on the transformation of business and institutions into agents of change for solving our most significant global challenges. He partnered with the Private Directors Association on a five-part podcast series "ESG Insights" and in Summer 2023 produced a webinar on private markets ESG in a collaboration with AM Law 100 firm, Blank Rome. As a blogger for the Corporate Responsibility Association, one of his posts became the fourth most-read in their content program that regularly reached 120K+ business leaders.

Art earned a mid-career Master’s in Policy Management from Georgetown University’s McCourt School of Public Policy, a postgraduate certificate in Senior Executive Leadership also from Georgetown, an undergraduate degree in Mass Communications from Emerson College, and has completed “Dealing with an Angry Public,” with the MIT-Harvard Law School Public Disputes and Negotiation Program. In 2011, Art was invited into the vetted community of the Boston World Partnerships, an initiative of then-Mayor Thomas Menino to leverage the resources of Boston leaders to grow the city's international links. SIP
