Geoff Crane 🙂
Geoff Crane is a former senior project portfolio manager who has ties to some of the world’s largest banks and professional services firms.
A staunch believer in the value of soft skills over hard skills, he has returned to university to pursue a doctorate in clinical psychology. Unable to stay away from the action, though (or take himself too seriously), Geoff continues to help aspiring executives organize their project work and is an adjunct professor of Project Management at Durham College in Ontario, Canada.
