Jay McDonald

Atlanta, Georgia

Forward thinking, energetic, and a dynamic leader; I am passionate about empowering excellence in others. Having served as a top executive, CEO, and business owner in a variety of industries, I have decades of experience taking businesses and the people that run them to the next level. As someone who understands the value of trust, I have always taken pride in my ability to guide others in finding solutions, optimizing value and achieving results.

As one of Atlanta’s premier Vistage Chairs, executive coaches, mentors and business advisors, I currently assist over 50 CEO’s, business owners, and presidents as they work towards meeting difficult challenges and setting a course for the future. I am pleased to share my experience and skills as an executive coach, expert advisor and most of all, friend. I inspire conviction, facilitate accountability and generate growth and success.
