Brad Rendle, CEO and founder of The Acadia Group and Principal of The Rendle Company, has over 25 years of working with entrepreneurs, business principals, inventors, CEOs, and senior management, and boards of directors of SMEs synthesizing imagination with sound business principles and profits.

​

He has been there both as a CEO and working with Boards and executive teams, thus brings both an experienced and consultative perspective to leadership challenges and demands. A creative systems thinker, he has a natural ability to see beyond obvious horizons for systems approaches and solutions to a business opportunity or dilemma.  His skills and passions include curating and connecting original thinkers and doers to deliver solutions to complex problems. He has worked with cross-cultural, geographic, and generational teams – in person and virtually – for over two decades.

​

The Acadia Group evolved out of the process of developing The Acadia Initiative, Brad's vision to expand the narrative of capitalism through a reconnection with the natural world. The Acadia Initiative was founded as a result of a walk in Acadia National Park in Maine. It is his purpose and legacy project. During the pandemic, Brad's connectedness with core collaborators for the initiative deepened, including the sharing of his personal story of transformation.  As a result, he came to realize the need to more fully align his advisory practice, his story, The Acadia Initiative, and an ecosystem of collaborators with aligned values.
