DAR
& COMPANY, founded in 1990, is headquartered in Bethesda,
Maryland. We are an executive coaching and advisory company
focused on the merchant energy, gas and electric utility industries.
Our
clients have included executives and Board members at companies
ranging from the largest utility holding and public power companies to
mid cap independent oil and gas producers and merchant energy
companies to energy start ups and new ventures.
We have
also assisted industrial finance executives and management of major
energy equipment vendors. Further, we have coached and guided
executives through the creation and launch of energy service and
energy trading joint ventures; development of major new subsidiaries
of utility holding companies; and the material repositioning and
reorganization of existing businesses.
The
defining challenge for executives and Boards today is navigating
through turbulent times. Navigation
requires separating events from trends, distinguishing noise from
truth and acting affirmatively rather than reacting defensively.
Headline
driven noise and media driven events intrude onto the schedules of
almost all executives and Board members forcing them to divert time,
money and energy from business and creating value for shareholders,
employees and customers. Reacting
to unfiltered information at the expense of understanding and
assimilating trends and the interpretation and synthesis of business
intelligence is not good for executives, Board members or the
business.
Dar &
Company specializes in helping clients separate events from trends and
in coaching senior executives on how to navigate through turbulent
times. We work one-on-one
with top executives and senior management teams.
We limit our advice and coaching to a few clients at any given
time to ensure loyalty, avoid conflicts, maintain the flexibility to
accommodate continually changing schedules and guarantee focused
attention to individual needs and preferences.
