What DiBianca Associates does

DiBianca Associates is a boutique executive coaching and advisory firm headquartered in Stockton, New Jersey, with an Executive Center retreat facility in Hunterdon County, NJ. The current legal entity was formed in 2016 and inherits a coaching lineage that traces to 1975, centering on an ontological leadership and transformation methodology. The firm is led by Founding Partner Vince DiBianca alongside Managing Directors Anne Miller, Mark Thompson, and Bob Gutermuth, with additional bench strength from Director Shae Hadden, Financial Director Gloria Stone, and Operations Manager Daria Karas.

The firm's service portfolio spans four engagement modalities: Individual Executive Coaching for CEOs and senior leaders, Executive Team Coaching for leadership groups, Organization Coaching for enterprise-wide transformations, and Breakthrough Project Coaching for time-bound strategic initiatives. Differentiated offerings include the Executive Center — an immersive retreat venue — and Panarchy, a network design lab that extends the firm's methodology into organizational ecosystem design. Delivery is supported by a named strategic-partner ecosystem (Jim Selman, Tim Seeton, Carolyn Hendrickson, Haley Rushing, Don Arnoudse) that enables international reach.

The go-to-market is relationship- and referral-driven, targeting senior leaders and boards across private and institutional buyers; the client roster spans apparel, food/CPG, pharma, healthcare, aerospace, publishing, real estate, and public-sector organizations. Revenue mechanics follow the standard premium professional services model — high-touch, multi-program coaching engagements at executive-coaching rate cards — with no disclosed pricing tiers, subscriptions, or technology licensing. The firm is privately held with no external funding and operates with a 1–10 employee core team supplemented by its partner network.
