Mr. Bailey was a huge help in guiding me and performing data analysis. He helped my presentation reach a much higher quality than I would have been able to reach on my own! Thank you so much for the help!

Edward Bailey did an AMAZING job of updating my resume. He is a great listener and his attention to detail is phenomenal. I’ve worked with other resume writers in the past and Edward is the absolute “best in class”, period. I strongly recommend him for all things business career strategy (including resume writing).
Details: Outdated resume • Financial services • Executive-level / C suite • Cover letter • Web presence (e.g., LinkedIn) • My home, venue, etc. • Remotely (phone or internet)

Google's filled with smart people but Ed stood out as a leader who was not only strategically and analytically brilliant but someone who authentically and passionately cared about helping others. Specifically, Ed was able to give me strategic and timely feedback when I was trying to influence global stakeholders who spanned various levels and roles. Ed has the rare skill of having full 'optics' into scenarios that may not be clear to others, he connects dots quickly, and then distills invaluable insights that can be actioned. I recommend Ed as an organizational leader or consultant in various spaces as he's one of those brilliant "general athletes." Specifically, Ed's combined skill set in strategy, operations, analytics, and talent are not easy to find in today's marketplace, especially, when you consider they come packaged in a caring, authentic, and wise leader. I feel fortunate that I've been able to tap into Ed's insights beyond our time together at Google.

Ed Bailey is an instant impact player/coach - a brilliant, passionate, genius and hilarious team player who shows consistent commitment to the work of advancing people around him to improbable heights. I first met Ed as a consultant whom my brother - the CEO of our company - hired to restructure our organization and transform our small "family business" into a streamlined multi-million dollar operation. Ed re-negotiated ownership, navigated past wounds and politics with amazing grace, and created a deal that has re-energized the company and enhanced our working relationship.
During this process, I told Ed about my work at StreetCode Academy, a program working to bring diversity into tech companies by offering free tech training to the East Palo Alto community. He almost immediately began supporting the work by mentoring individual students, and quickly evolved into our lead business advisor. As a result of his guidance, we launched an expanded 18-month strategic plan, and reimagined a new 5-year vision. With his continued help, this plan will launch us as the leading cultural innovation hub for communities of color. Ed is a unicorn in our business of technology, entrepreneurship, and cultural impact. His background growing up in Westside Chicago combined with his best-in-class pedigree and corporate experience makes him a one-of-a-kind. He has been an invaluable player in our team, and as much as we don't want to share his expertise, we know he'd be an impact player for an other organization/team.
