Velocity Advisory Group, a leading provider of leadership development, cultural assessments, and advisory services today announced the appointment of Brooke Page-Thompson as the firm’s next President. With over 20 years of experience working with Fortune 500 companies to support large-scale transformation, Brooke has been an integral part of Velocity’s growth since joining the firm in 2020 as Director of Learning Services. She was named Partner in January 2022.
“Brooke has had a remarkable impact on Velocity over the past four years, continuously elevating our approach to leadership development and culture transformation. Her transition to Partner in 2022 was a testament to her leadership and vision, and now, as President, she is poised to lead us into an exciting new chapter,” said Dave Fechtman, CEO of Velocity Advisory Group. “We advise our clients on long-term succession planning, and for us, this is a pivotal moment in our succession plan and in the evolution of our firm.”
Brooke brings a wealth of expertise to the position, having held key roles in both consulting and corporate leadership. Before joining Velocity, she served as Vice President of Strategy & Planning for a global telecommunications organization, where she led strategies around culture, engagement, and HR solutions. In her consulting career, Brooke has been at the forefront of leading change management and communications initiatives.
As part of her new role at Velocity, she will continue to strategize around improving culture initiatives, leadership development programs, and internal operations while also expanding her impact through speaking engagements and leading executive offsites.
“I couldn’t be more honored to be entrusted with this role,” Page-Thompson said. “Since joining Velocity in 2020, I’ve had the incredible opportunity to grow alongside the company, first as Director of Learning Services and then as a Partner. As I step into the role of President, I’m excited to build on the foundation we’ve created, driving innovation, promoting workplace wellness, and delivering exceptional client experiences, while helping leaders — especially women executives — unlock their full potential.”
Dan Silvert, who led Velocity as President for the last decade, will continue to focus on his areas of expertise as a Partner and Co-Founder, including facilitating Birds sessions, executive offsites, keynote addresses, and executive coaching. “Brooke’s transition marks a significant moment for our firm. Her passion for people and commitment to excellence have made a profound impact on our clients and our team. I’m confident that under her leadership, Velocity will continue to thrive, innovate, and set new standards for delivering exceptional experiences.”
