About
Tony Meale
I am a Chicago-based ghostwriter, adviser, and executive coach who solves problems, builds brands, and expands businesses. For more than a decade, I’ve advised and ghostwritten for leaders at every level—from solo entrepreneurs to Fortune 500 CEOs—generating millions of dollars on their behalf.
I’ve been independent and in-house, and I’ve worked with founders and executives in finance, law, real estate, mental health, higher education, and data analytics, among other diverse fields. My work blends strategy and communications expertise as I help leaders see the full board, determine the best path forward, and communicate with internal and external audiences in ways that resonate and rally.
Prior to working with executives, I was a sportswriter who told the story behind the story. I have a master’s degree in journalism from Ohio University and narrated a short film about my book, “The Chosen Ones: The Team That Beat LeBron," for ESPN.
