Angie McArthur is the CEO and Co-Founder of CORE. She was previously one of four Bleeker principals and its president, supporting their mission of putting underrepresented talent in the driver’s seat of their careers through the development of innovative practices and technologies, the breaking down of barriers, and consulting and educating both talent and businesses.

She has co-authored two books: Collaborative Intelligence: Thinking With People Who Think Differently and Reconcilable Differences: Connecting in a Disconnected World. She is part of the Random House Speakers Bureau and is also one of the creators of the Worldwide Women’s Web, a network formed in 2001 to retain women in corporate leadership roles.

As an expert in multi-dimensional thinking, she has developed collaboration and communication strategies for corporations, CEOs, and the ongoing Executive Champions Workshop. She has also designed interactive web assessments and products for corporate training programs.

McArthur co-founded Professional Thinking Partners (PTP) with Dawna Markova in 1998, and PTP merged with Bleeker in 2019. Throughout her career, she has co-facilitated and designed global conferences, leadership retreats, training programs, and ongoing one-on-one thinking partnerships in organizations ranging from non-profits to Fortune 500s.

McArthur has worked extensively with youth as part of PTP’s sister company SmartWired, developing materials, interactive websites, and programs around the world in multiple languages for non-profits and military children, and she co-authored the parenting book I Am Smart.
