We built our business and our experience one client at a time.

BoS Developers

Dr. Bill Roiter and Dr. Stu Koman each have more than twenty years of successful business and executive counseling experience. They have joined together in Roiter/Koman Partners to offer unique, and highly individualized, life planning services.  

Both Bill and Stu are qualified to assist you in the process of personal discovery by virtue of having traveled this road themselves.  

Both are psychologists, organizational and executive consultants, and entrepreneurs who have held key positions within successful companies.  

Early success as healthcare professionals led to significant achievements in business and industry, and, consequently, the opportunity to choose their next career. Like you, they faced many challenges along the way, overcame adversity, survived bailouts, buyouts, mergers, and acquisitions - and came out whole.

Both individuals value their independence as well as their life connections. Building on Success is a natural integration of lessons learned and choices made.

We are pleased to announce that Dr. Steve Krugman has now joined the BoS team and is available to work with our clients.  Steve brings great experience and is participating in the development of the next round BoS initiatives.
