Andre W. Thornton is the founder and CEO of Whitman Consulting, one of the top ten
leadership-development firms in the US, which helps organizations grow their people faster
than their challenges.
A former engineering director at Lockheed Martin, Andre spent sixteen years leading teams
on advanced aircraft programs and capturing over $1 billion in new business before
discovering his true calling: developing leaders.
His book, Disrupted, introduces the two stabilizers and seven accelerators that turn chaos
into growth—a framework drawn from neuroscience, engineering, and two decades of
coaching experience.
Andre helps executives and teams raise their baseline, shorten recovery, and lead with
clarity in times of change. He lives in Maryland with his wife, Myesha, and their two children.
