Gil Merrick, Executive Leadership Mentor and Author

Gil Merrick.

Executive Leadership Mentor & Author · Founder, MC Publishing LLC

International consultant. Olympic team leader. Survivor. Forty years of leadership in training delivery, sports management, and operations oversight — now the mentor that high achievers call when ready to take things to the next level.

Gil earned a BA in Business Administration and German from Hiram College and an MBA from Cleveland State University, then built a 40-year career managing companies across the U.S., Europe, and Asia. He has served as Chief Operating Officer at Custom Solutions Group, as Vice President of Operations in the software and information services sectors, and as Management Consultant and Principal at Mastery Concepts—an organizational development training provider. Earlier, he served as Vice President of Finance and Administration at the National Health Council, supporting their patient-centered health care initiatives.

As Managing Director for High Performance Sport, Gil served as Team Leader for the U.S. Equestrian Federation at the 2007 Pan American Games and the 2008 Olympic Games. He now lives in South Florida and writes full-time, with his memoir work reflecting a deeply personal story of surviving abuse, bullying, betrayal, and setbacks — all while pursuing an Olympic dream. His Trust-Flow chapter reflects a theme he has learned on his life journey: trust in yourself, trust in your work, and trust in the people you choose to walk with, and that trust will help a person overcome their challenges when nothing else is guaranteed.
