Bio

Holt has been in business since his teens. Starting with about two hundred dollars, he grew a consortium of multimedia, packaging, and marketing communications companies that included a spin-off brand providing organizational and strategic growth consulting, including exit and succession planning, for the faith-based industry. His production facility was honored in Mix Magazine’s prestigious Class of 2008 as one of the world’s hottest new audio/video/multimedia recording studios. Holt has overseen countless multimedia, branding, marketing communications projects, and strategic plans for small businesses, Fortune 500 companies, rock and pop stars, NY Times best-selling authors and leading nonprofits. As a co‐writer, he once hit the Amazon best sellers list. He is also an accomplished recording artist, having released four albums – his latest including Grammy and Dove Award musicians. Holt successfully sold his business interests in 2016 using TobinLeff’s predecessor, The Tobin Group, as an M&A advisor. Since that time, in addition to working with TobinLeff, he has been directing a think tank and providing independent consulting services. Holt has served on various boards and committees and has led workshops as diverse as organizational and business development, branding/marketing, product development, and theology and the arts. After many years in Western NY, Holt and his wife Marietta now make the Nashville area home, where their two adult children also happily reside.
