Board of Advisors

  • EDI Advisory Group

Board of Advisors

Our experiences on a global stage enable us to understand the consequences of uninformed decision-making. As an international group we understand that even good leaders make bad decisions without the right information and understanding its context. As individuals and as a team, we have worked successfully in a wide variety of public, private sector, and geo-political environments.

Our Board of Advisors drawn from the best in business, government, academia, and the military to serve as a resource for The EDI Advixory Group. Each Advisor understands that 21st century leaders must be able to mold an environment that limits conflict and unnecessary waste of time, human capital, and resources. Creating this environment demands sound decisions.

What Our Customers Say…

  • The EDI Advisory Group helped us with our acquisition of four TV stations and the divestiture of nine radio stations and four TV stations across the United States.  The value of the program was approximately $500 million.  The process was superbly guided by a KEE team, working with multiple operational levels.

    EDI Advisory Group Customer
  • In the era of uncertainty and volatility we face domestically and around the globe, The EDI Advisory Group stands out as a clear-eyed strategist.  As an international strategy advisory, Reid leads a select group that serves companies, governments and international organizations around the world.

    Tom Thomson
    CEO, Tom Thomson & Associates
  • I strongly recommend Reid and The EDI Advisory Group to anyone in need of expertise and assistance with complex initiatives.  They have a unique ability to balance internal and external agendas.

    Robert Stapp
    Organizational & Leadership Development Specialist
  • Reid has demonstrated (and in fact routinely practices) exceptional diplomatic and leadership skills, especially working in complex environments. Our team is truly fortunate to have the leadership of Mr. Reid Lohr, and I take this opportunity to say so.

    Andrew Krefft
    Director of Finance and Administration, USWDP
  • I have found working with The EDI Advisory Group and Reid Lohr is nothing short of superb.  Reid’s ability to galvanize the team to produce the best possible and long-lasting results is unmatched.  I have found EDI to be extremely responsible with the tasks at hand, and prudent and coolheaded in decision making and operating style.

    Julian Simidjiyski
    Attorney and International Supply Chain Consultant
  • I knew of Reid’s excellent reputation at JFCOM, but did not have the pleasure of working together until my time at Deloitte and UNYSIS. The engagements involved highly sensitive initiatives in which I found him and his EDI Advisory Group colleagues to be out-of-the box thinkers who understand the dynamics of strategic decision-making and tactical implementation.

    Global Director - Resiliency |Unisys Security Solutions
