Dr. Renee Fowler Hornbuckle, Founder and CEO
Leadership perspective

Experience changes how you see the problem.

Dr. Renee Fowler Hornbuckle brings nearly four decades of leadership experience spanning executive management, entrepreneurship, nonprofit development, education, professional training, community engagement, organizational leadership, and faith-sector leadership.

Her work has required more than delivering presentations. It has involved building organizations, leading teams, developing programs, navigating disruption, managing transition, creating curriculum, serving communities, coaching leaders, and turning vision into operating reality.

That breadth informs The Phoenix Firm’s approach: understand the context, identify what is preventing progress, strengthen the people responsible for moving the work, and establish a practical path forward.
