What Is Executive Mentoring at Kerr University?
Executive mentoring at Kerr University is a direct, high-intensity, 1-on-1 engagement with Digby R. Kerr — a Wharton-educated CEO with 35+ years at the executive level. This is not a marketplace match. It is not a coaching platform with a pool of junior mentors. It is direct CEO access for executives who demand real strategic input, not motivational frameworks.
Digby has held senior roles at FedEx, UPS, CEVA, and XPO. He founded and led a global logistics company for 15 years as CEO. He understands P&L, board dynamics, global sales, and what it actually takes to move from VP to C-suite. This experience is what you bring into every session.
Who Is Executive Mentoring For?
Kerr University executive mentoring serves a specific type of professional: ambitious, results-focused, and operating at a level where generic coaching is a waste of time.
- Founders and CEOs scaling from $1M to $10M and beyond — needing go-to-market strategy, investor narrative, and board readiness
- VPs and Directors transitioning to C-suite roles — needing executive presence, stakeholder management, and the language of the boardroom
- Sales leaders running enterprise accounts — needing negotiation frameworks and deal strategy at the C-suite level
- Global executives operating across the US, Europe, Asia, Latin America, and Middle East — where cross-cultural executive communication is a competitive advantage
- High-potential professionals preparing for MBA programs or board-level transitions
The Fast-Track Fluency Method™
The Fast-Track Fluency Method™ is Digby's proprietary approach to executive development. It is built on one core principle: the fastest path to executive results is focused, applied, high-frequency feedback from someone who has already been where you are going.
Every session is structured around your current highest-leverage challenge — not a generic curriculum. You walk in with a real problem. You leave with a real strategy. Between sessions, you execute. Digby is available via WhatsApp for accountability, quick calls, and rapid-fire strategic input.

Why Executives Leave MentorCruise, GLG, and Catalant for Kerr University
Platforms like MentorCruise, GLG, and Catalant offer access to a marketplace of mentors and experts. This model has inherent limitations that serious executives eventually outgrow.
On MentorCruise, you browse profiles and hope the mentor you select has genuine CEO-level experience — not just a LinkedIn title. On GLG, you pay for expert network calls that are transactional and non-recurring. On Catalant, you engage project-based consultants for defined deliverables with no ongoing relationship.
Kerr University is none of those things. You engage directly with a verified Wharton-educated CEO. The relationship is ongoing. The context compounds. Digby knows your business, your goals, and your obstacles. That accumulated context is what produces outsized results — and it is what a marketplace model cannot replicate.
Why Not Clarity.fm for Executive Mentoring?
Clarity.fm charges by the minute. A 30-minute call at $5/min costs $150. For $125/month, Kerr University provides one full 60-minute strategy session plus unlimited WhatsApp access throughout the month. The math is not the only issue. Per-minute billing creates pressure. It incentivizes brevity over depth. Real mentoring requires a relationship, not a timed call.
