WHY NOW
The challenges you're facing now are different from the ones that got you here.
Most leaders wait too long.
They navigate complexity alone until the stakes get too high. They build influence through trial and error until a critical relationship breaks. They make high-stakes decisions without perspective until they make one they can't recover from.
The leaders who sustain impact don't wait for the crisis. They invest in perspective before they need it. They build capability before the inflection point—not during it.
If you're navigating transformation, complexity, or scale—now is the time
SERVICE

Biweekly 60-minute sessions structured around your specific challenges—with frameworks, strategic exercises, and real-time problem-solving tailored to where you are right now.

Personalized Growth Map
We co-create a roadmap that outlines what success looks like for you—whether it's navigating a transformation, sharpening decision-making, building stakeholder alignment, or developing authentic leadership presence.
03
Unlimited
Async Support
Between sessions, you have direct access for real-time questions, reflections, and strategic counsel via email or messaging—because leadership challenges don't wait for scheduled calls.
04
Insights from the Other Side
When you hit a wall, we've likely been on the other side of it: AI-led transformation, organizational restructuring, scaling teams under pressure. At the top marketing technology company in the world. At America's largest mobile carrier. At the nation's most awarded B2B creative agency.
05
One of Five,
Not One of Fifty
We work with 3–5 leaders per quarter. That means when you need perspective, you have it. Your challenges don't compete for attention. Your questions don't wait in a queue. We turn down more inquiries than we accept because the work requires depth—and depth requires focus.
ABOUT
Haldco
About Haldco
Haldco is the executive mentorship and leadership advisory practice of Cory Haldeman. After two decades leading transformation at Adobe, Verizon, and Code and Theory, Cory founded Haldco to help high-performing leaders unlock their next level of impact.
At Haldco, mentorship goes beyond performance—it's about perspective. We work with leaders who have already mastered execution and are ready to evolve, bringing clarity, calm, and courage to their decision-making.
The Founder
Cory Haldeman founded Haldco after two decades leading transformation at scale—as Chief Marketing Officer at Code and Theory, VP of Marketing at Verizon, and in senior leadership roles at Adobe.
He's built marketing organizations, modernized operations, and led teams through digital transformation, restructures, and strategic pivots. He's been the operator in the room and the strategist at the table. He's launched products, navigated M&A integrations, and built the systems that scale impact without burning people out.
But the work that stayed with him wasn't just what he built—it was who leaders became in the process.
The conversations that mattered most weren't the strategy decks or the roadmaps. They were the one-on-one moments: helping a VP navigate a career-defining pivot, coaching a leader through a high-stakes board presentation, walking someone through how to build influence when the org chart says they shouldn't have any.
After years leading transformation inside organizations, Cory realized the work he found most fulfilling was developing leaders—helping them see patterns they couldn't see alone, build capabilities they didn't know they needed, and lead with clarity and conviction through the moments that define careers.
Haldco is where that work happens.
