After leaving his role at the Tribune, Tony founded TWH Enterprises, an advisory services firm that helps executives and companies: Think bigger, act bolder, translate strategy into action, and align more quickly around a shared vision using his “orgagility” method. He is also the Chairman for Revolution Enterprises, an Illinois-based cannabis company. Tony is a non-practicing CPA. He earned his BA from Coe College and his MBA from DePaul University.
