Introduction
From the lowest-performing region to a leadership legacy.
In 2000, Maritza Gomez Montiel was appointed Regional Managing Partner for Deloitte’s Central Atlantic Region—the lowest-performing division within the U.S. firm.
Determined to transform performance, strengthen collaboration, and create greater alignment among leaders, Maritza partnered with FMG Leading to help her team move from worst to best.
What began as a regional performance-improvement initiative would eventually influence leadership development across one of the world’s largest professional services organizations.
Partnership
Building leaders who could build the future.
Over the next two years, FMG Leading worked closely with Maritza and her leadership team to improve teamwork, accelerate execution, and strengthen organizational alignment. Through strategic planning sessions, executive coaching, and leadership development initiatives, the Central Atlantic Region began a remarkable transformation.
As Maritza’s success gained attention throughout Deloitte, she was promoted to lead increasingly larger business units before being selected to spearhead one of the firm’s most ambitious talent initiatives: the creation of Deloitte University.
FMG Leading became a strategic advisor in the design and development of Deloitte University and created NextGen, a comprehensive leadership development program focused on assessment, coaching, mentoring, and executive readiness for future leaders.

Outcomes
Leadership development became a competitive advantage.
