Desirée Nero
Founder & CEO
Leadership Development Strategist | Master Trainer | Former Chief Learning Officer

Desirée S. Nero is the Founder and CEO of Epiphany Leadership Solutions and a former Chief Learning Officer with more than 25 years of experience in government, public safety, higher education, and organizational leadership.


She partners with public-sector agencies, law enforcement organizations, fire and emergency services, higher education institutions, and corporate leadership teams to strengthen accountability, improve performance, and build leadership systems that last beyond the classroom.


Her work is grounded in a clear belief: training that does not change behavior is wasted — and many organizational risks begin with leadership gaps that go unnamed, unaddressed, and unresolved.
