"To produce unparalleled results, yesterday’s leader needed to be smart, bold and committed. Today’s leader needs all that plus an acute self-awareness, an integrated worldview and fresh skills to lead people in building a sustainable future."

Vince DiBianca, senior partner of Praemia Group, is known for consulting leaders who have an appetite for self-discovery, a drive to produce unparalleled results and a commitment to transform their companies. A visionary who loves to help people play ‘big’, Vince is the quintessential coach for game changers. He has worked with several thousand senior executives of multinationals committed to making something unpredictable and momentous happen for themselves, their enterprise and the planet—no matter what the apparent odds or market conditions.

Over 40 years, Vince has helped leaders create an unprecedented future through an ontological leadership model that transforms people’s relationships with themselves, others, their circumstances and time. Vince has had the privilege of coaching and advising CEOs and C-suite executives of several major corporations (including Allstate, Asia Pacific Land, Hughes Aircraft, McCain Foods, Novartis, Reebok and Sears) to shift their leadership mindset, corporate culture, strategy and business practices. He has a fondness for working with younger leaders and entrepreneurs in start-up enterprises. His wise and informed contributions to game-changers also draw on his involvement as an owner and board member of enterprises in the fields of health care, real estate and finance.

In the early 1980s, Vince and Praemia advisor Jim Selman helped organize the first ever set of conferences on “coaching in business”, which some management experts say propelled the emergence of the coaching industry. From 1983 to 2000, he led The DiBianca-Berkman Group, a coaching and consulting firm of 50 professionals noted for their seminal work in organizational transformation. After the firm was acquired by Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC) in 1993, Vince served on the Executive Committee of CSC’s consulting group. In 2006, he co-founded Praemia Group to support leaders committed to breakthrough initiatives in environmental sustainability, health and wellbeing, technology, education and communications.

Vince has advised leaders of the United Nations and the Prime Minister of Romania and is a member of the Transformational Leadership Council, an international group of thought leaders, coaches and CEOs recognized as key influencers in the fields of personal and organizational transformation. An author of many papers on leadership and a presenter at several prominent business schools (including Harvard, Wharton, MIT and USC), Vince has also been quoted in the major press (Fortune, Wall Street Journal and the New York Times). 

Vince obtained his Bachelors of Science from Drexel University and his Masters in Business Administration from Bucknell University. He is a certified coach with the International Coach Federation. Vince volunteers much time coaching young people on various life, relationship and career challenges. He resides on a farm in Central New Jersey with family and a menagerie of animals.
