PHOENIX - March 18, 2013 - PRLog -- (Las Vegas) – A new peer advisory group of Phoenix, Arizona-based chief executives and business owners will be launched April 4, according to Brad Mishlove, CEO of Catapult Groups, a chief executive leadership organization based in Las Vegas.

Heading this new group is noted executive consultant Fred Kroin, CEO of Goal Partners, LLC.  Previously, Mr. Kroin was a Senior Consultant with Management Action Programs for seven years. His extensive management and consulting background also includes:

·         Leading the western region of a prominent IT research firm

·         Assisting an Arizona-based professional services firm through its IPO

·         Quadrupling the revenue of the IT professional services practice of the sixth largest management consulting and accounting firm in the U.S.

“Fred Kroin has extensive experience working with CEOs and business leaders, as well as a critical understanding of the challenges and opportunities faced by these leaders,” Mishlove notes. “His skills at helping business owners and leaders in strategic planning, tactical management and team performance make him an ideal Group Leader for our new Catapult Groups peer advisory group in Phoenix.”

Mr. Kroin holds a Bachelor’s degree in Physics from Queens College and a Masters in Operations Research from New York University. He has served on the boards of the International Tandem User’s Group, the Maricopa Executives Association and other professional associations in Phoenix.

“I’m very excited to be leading key executives and business owners in a group dedicated specifically to their leadership growth and the achievement of their company’s goals,” Mr. Kroin says. “Catapult Group members focus on the things which genuinely impact business results and performance and learn how to say no to the things that don't.”

Members of Catapult Groups engage in once-monthly peer group meetings, where they address current issues and opportunities with fellow members, expert speakers and business coaches. Group Leaders facilitate these group meetings and also provide confidential one-on-one executive coaching.
