The Albany Gazette - Waterstone Human Capital and CEO Coaching International Announce Strategic Partnership

TORONTO, ON AND MIAMI, FL / ACCESS Newswire / July 30, 2026 / Waterstone Human Capital, North America's Culture Intelligence^™ firm, today announced a strategic partnership with CEO Coaching International, the leading CEO coaching firm for growth-focused CEOs and entrepreneurs globally. Under the partnership, CEO Coaching International becomes a strategic partner across Waterstone's America's Most Admired^™ and Canada's Most Admired^™ Cultures and CEO programs and will bring them to its network of client CEOs and coaches.

Culture Intelligence is the science of predicting how leadership and culture will impact business performance - the discipline behind everything Waterstone does, from its executive search, professional recruitment for next-generation leaders, and leadership and culture advisory work to the America's Most Admired and Canada's Most Admired Cultures and CEO programs.

"CEO Coaching International builds leaders who treat culture as a performance driver, not an HR concern. Those are exactly the leaders the America's Most Admired and Canada's Most Admired Cultures and CEO programs were built to recognize," said Marty Parker, Founder and CEO, Waterstone Human Capital.

Both firms are built on the same conviction: culture is a company's greatest competitive advantage, because it's the one thing a competitor can't copy. They can hire your people and copy your strategy, but not how your organization behaves.

"Our CEOs are relentless about performance, and culture drives it," said Mark Moses, Founding Partner and Executive Chairman of CEO Coaching International. "Waterstone's America's Most Admired and Canada's Most Admired Cultures and CEO programs set the benchmark for what strong leaders and cultures produce."

The 2026 America's Most Admired Cultures program is open for nominations now. Organizations are encouraged to nominate now and begin building their submissions right away. For more information, visit americasmostadmired.com.
