MEET HALEY
There’s a question at the center of everything Haley Boehning does: what makes business meaningful? She’s been studying it for nearly three decades — from the inside of a Fortune 500, through hundreds of engagements with founders, CEOs, and nonprofits, and now through Storyforging, mentoring, speaking, and facilitation.
She launched Storyforge in 2014 — with her friend and co-founder Barry Chandler of Stories & Sips — after spending almost two decades supporting one of the S&P 500’s longest-serving founder/CEOs during a time of great growth and change, including significant M&A activity.
Haley has decades of experience working with leaders of Fortune-500 companies, nonprofits, and start-ups to create clarity, alignment, and engagement through story.
Haley sits on the advisory board of employee-owned and privately-held ASG-Chute Gerdeman, and was a founding board member of Conscious Capitalism Columbus. She served on Conscious Capitalism Inc.’s Community Advisory Council and Chapter Task Force, where she helped redesign the international chapter model following the global pandemic. She is a founding member of The Matriots, Ohio’s first multi-partisan PAC dedicated to electing more women to public office and a member and chapter sponsor of The National Association of Women Business Owners.
Haley was named to Columbus CEO’s 2020 Future 50 list, recognizing her as a leader with the ideas, energy, and heart to move the region forward in the critical decade ahead.
Haley studied at the Tisch School of the Arts, Playwrights Horizons, and The American School in Switzerland (Lugano) before receiving her bachelor of arts cum laude from New York University’s Gallatin School.
When she’s not advocating for business as a force for good in the world—through her clients or community engagement—Haley can be found enjoying weekends as a modern-day flâneur, running late to a yoga class, or grinding a winch on a sailboat somewhere in the world.
Haley resides in Brooklyn, New York and Columbus, Ohio.
