Jim Lopata

James currently coaches and consults entrepreneurial leaders and teams at the Cambridge Innovation Center in Massachusetts through his company innerOvation™. He also assists gay men in transforming their lives for the better through Your Next Gay Phase.

With over two decades of executive management experience — including in digital media consulting, in the music and entertainment industries, on Wall Street, and in journalism — I now provide leadership coaching to executives and companies who are creating game-changing innovation in the world.

My clients include innovation teams and leaders at large technology corporations, at innovative social entrepreneurial organizations, and at some of the world’s most promising startups housed at the Cambridge Innovation Center.

I am an Associate Certified Coach (ACC) with the International Coach Federation (ICF). I am also a Certified Professional Coach (CPC) in Core Energy Leadership from iPEC (The Institute of Professional Excellence in Coaching).

I am an award-winning writer published on The Huffington Post, on Boston.com, in the New York Times, and on NPR. I currently hold the position of editor-in-chief at Boston Spirit magazine.

I serve on the Fenway Health Board of Visitors, and I formerly sat on the board of directors at the Greater Boston Business Council.

I lead a rich, full life. I am passionately dedicated to assisting others to do the same.
