About Arthur
Experience. Empathy.
A Different Perspective
on Retirement.
I help successful people navigate one of life’s most important transitions — from the identity and structure of work to a life of purpose and fulfillment.
My Story
From Executive Leadership
to Life Design
For more than 35 years, I led global teams and complex initiatives at Cisco, building high-performance cultures and driving results.
But even with success, I saw a truth that stayed with me: most people retire from work, but not to something.
That’s why I created the Five Ps™ framework — to help others design a retirement that brings clarity, intention, and lasting fulfillment.

Beyond the Office
A Life of Purpose and Adventure
Outside of coaching, you’ll find me on the water with my outrigger canoe team, exploring in our RV, hiking new trails, and spending time with my wife, Claudia, and our family.
These experiences keep me grounded, inspired, and remind me every day that life after work can be your best chapter yet.

Retirement isn’t just about stopping work.
It’s about starting a life that feels true to who you are.
