Meet Julie
Julie Krivanek has brought a rare blend of business expertise, global perspective, and human insight to every consulting engagement for over three decades. With a background that spans Fortune 100 leadership, high-stakes M&A, and advisory work across industries, she has become a trusted partner to CEOs, boards, and executive teams navigating complex decisions and leadership transitions. Her deep expertise in the fresh produce industry, paired with a global client base and experience across the full supply chain, gives her a uniquely broad view of how business works and how leaders thrive within it.
Her approach is deeply personalized and rooted in trust. She works closely with every client to uncover what will truly move the needle for them, both professionally and personally. There are no templates or one-size-fits-all programs. Instead, Julie invests the time to understand each leader’s goals, blind spots, values, and context, then co-creates a practical, tailored plan to support their growth. She’s known for helping leaders go inward before reaching outward - developing clarity, confidence, and alignment from within to lead more effectively in their roles.
Helping leaders go inward before reaching outward
What sets Julie apart is not only her strategic insight, but her genuine care for the people she advises. She has been the go-to leadership coach for the International Fresh Produce Association (formerly United Fresh) since the launch of its flagship leadership program in 1995, mentoring hundreds of high-potential leaders - many of whom continue to seek her guidance decades later. Clients return to Julie not only to grow as individuals, but to navigate critical moments in their companies’ growth, succession, and strategic evolution. That long-term trust, paired with her real-world experience and proven track record, is what makes her one of the most sought-after consultants in executive leadership today.
