Our Team

Gib Kerr, Principal, KerrWerx, LLC (he/him)    

As a retired U.S. Navy Captain, who has also been a corporate executive, a senior executive in government, an executive coach and a professor (teaching leadership and Program Management), Gibson (Gib) Kerr has over 40 years’ experience working in a variety of organizations and developing teams as small as 5 individuals to as many as 300. A highly skilled facilitator and master trainer, he is able to draw on his extensive range of experience to help organizations improve outcomes.

Though trained as an engineer where typically coming up with technically excellent solutions was enough, Gib is often quoted as saying “soft skills enable hard results.” To this end he has devoted his varied career to learning, applying, adapting and integrating a cornucopia of team skills and technical tools to improve the interactions of those with whom he works. He loves helping teams succeed, and really enjoys making the complicated simple- so people and teams have the knowledge and tools they need to address the challenges they face.

He takes very seriously his personal mission to help people understand themselves, interact better as individuals and in teams, and to learn and apply new tools and techniques in order to generate improved outcomes for themselves and their organizations. He once stated in an interview, “I wish I had these tools and been this self-aware back in the late 1970’s when I first started working in teams…I would have made waaayyyy fewer mistakes.”
