about
Jonathan Stolzenberg helps business leaders make better decisions in uncertain situations. Instead of claiming to have all the answers, he acts as a guide, supporting leaders through uncertainty in real time.
Before this, he served as a close protection officer, navigating unpredictable, high-risk environments while managing active adversaries and supporting leaders in achieving their objectives. Today, he brings that same attention to emerging dynamics as he helps executives make decisions when information is incomplete, unreliable, or rapidly changing.
Jonathan draws on insights from leading thinkers who have shaped our understanding of decision-making, while also being deeply influenced by Ludvig Björklund and his work on improvisation in high-stakes, complex environments. He pays particular respect to Daniel Kahneman, Herbert Simon, and Gary Klein for their contributions to the field of decision-making. He also acknowledges Julia Sloan, Jennifer Garvey Berger, Arie Kruglanski, Carol Dweck, Karl Weick, Stuart Kauffman, and others, whose work in psychology, systems and complexity theory continues to contribute to the development of his approach.
He does not see himself as an expert or coach. Instead, Jonathan creates opportunities for exploration and collaboration, helping teams identify emerging patterns, focus on what matters most, and take deliberate action even when the path forward is uncertain.
Through this work, Jonathan helps leaders turn uncertainty into an advantage, enabling them to navigate complex and fast-changing markets with curiosity and confidence.
