Caleb Dixon, Founder and Principal Advisor of Forge Advisory

Caleb founded Forge Advisory to help organizations navigate complex challenges, gain clarity, and turn ambitious goals into meaningful results.

Over more than 20 years of leadership across nonprofit, corporate, and private-sector organizations, Caleb has led large teams, complex operations, strategic initiatives, and major projects. His experience spans transportation, supply chain and logistics, production, facilities, customer service, and volunteer recruitment and operations.
