Tom Bonner is a Senior Consultant at Praxis. With over a decade of experience in management and organizational development, he has worked alongside leaders and teams across privately held businesses, nonprofits, and higher education institutions — including years of deep engagement with family business owners that shaped his thinking on ownership, culture, and shared accountability. He believes that ownership fundamentally transforms how people lead, how they show up, and how they envision the future, and he brings that conviction to his work helping organizations build the structures, conversations, and alignment that make employee ownership meaningful in practice.

Grounded in a background in the arts, he has a particular interest in the stories people tell about their roles and how competing narratives can quietly undermine progress — and a proven strength in facilitating the complex, high-stakes conversations that move organizations forward. He holds a Master's degree in Arts Management from Drexel University and a Bachelor of Arts in Directing from Marymount Manhattan College, and is certified in Negotiation and Mediation, Executive Leadership, and the Predictive Index.
