DEE MCCROREY is the innovation catalyst and Chief Risk Guru of Risktaking for Success, a consulting and training business launched after a 25-year career managing complex supply chains and leading global teams in software development and business re-engineering initiatives. Her entrepreneurial efforts resulted in millions of dollars of savings and the creation of new revenue streams for Fortune 500 companies. Combined with a passion for leading high potential, high risk programs, Dee earned a reputation as a turnaround expert, garnering a personal brand of someone who would ‘Fix, eliminate or reinvent it’.  

A desire for greater influence in helping corporate leaders navigate and rebuild their organizations from fear-based workplaces to entrepreneurial environments motivated Dee to branch out on her own in 1997. The ensuing decade of Silicon Valley’s dotcom bust, the aftermath of 9/11, and the nation’s Great Recession validated the existence of a new reality and the necessity for innovating in a reinvented world.

As an author, speaker, columnist, blogger, and radio show host Dee brings a practical, collaborative and social approach to the challenges faced by today’s enterprise leaders and professional workforce.

Her educational background in journalism and international relations, combined with a five-year expatriate experience in Europe and the Middle East provides Dee with a rich understanding of multicultural settings and international business environments. She is a long time resident of Silicon Valley.
