Meet Dr. Reggie R. Padin
For more than 18 years, I’ve built and led learning organizations at enterprise scale—not as a vendor selling solutions, but as the executive accountable for results.
I’ve carried full responsibility for multimillion-dollar budgets, enterprise learning systems, leadership development portfolios, and large, distributed teams. I’ve navigated modernization while operating legacy platforms. I’ve justified ROI to skeptical CFOs. I’ve led through budget cuts, mergers, and periods of rapid growth. I’ve built corporate universities from the ground up—and revitalized programs that had lost strategic relevance.
I’ve been in the seat.
Today, through AImPro Advisory, I work directly with organizations facing these same pressures—providing strategic clarity grounded in real accountability, not theory.

Philosophy
Learning transformation is not a technology problem.
It is a leadership, strategy, and change problem.
The most advanced learning platforms fail when they are misaligned with business goals, unsupported by culture, or disconnected from how people actually work. My approach combines strategic perspective with operational experience—backed by credibility earned through firsthand accountability.
I do not offer generic frameworks or one-size-fits-all solutions. Every organization operates within its own constraints, culture, and realities. The value I bring is understanding that context and helping leaders make decisions that work for their organization—not an idealized case study.
Why I Started Aimpro Advisory
After nearly two decades inside corporations, I recognized a persistent gap:
Organizations need strategic advisors who have actually carried the responsibility, not consultants who sell frameworks or vendors who push tools.
Too many advisors have never:
-
Owned a budget
-
Led teams through disruption
-
Defended investment decisions to executives
-
Been accountable for outcomes
AImPro Advisory exists to provide something different—executive-level guidance from someone who has sat in the seat, faced the tradeoffs, and built what clients are trying to build.
