Beau Stubblefield-Tave
Managing Principal

Beau Stubblefield-Tave, MBA, is a data-driven management consultant specializing in cultural competence. As Managing Principal and Co-Founder of the Center for Culturally Fluent Leadership, LLC, he supports clients in building their cultural competence capacity: the behaviors, awareness, skills, and knowledge essential to working with and for people from diverse backgrounds.

Beau is a published author and national speaker and trainer on issues of cultural competence, leadership, and health equity. Beau is a prostate cancer survivor, a breast cancer family survivor, and a colorectal cancer ‘screening patient.’ He recognizes that African Americans die of many cancers at twice the rate of other Americans. Therefore, Beau emphasizes the importance of early detection and effective patient-centered treatment for all patients, families and communities. Augustus White, MD, PhD and Beau co-authored a paper helping clinicians address their unconscious bias and provide equal care to patients of all cultural backgrounds.

Beau’s clients have included Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts, Community Health Center, Inc., State Street Corporation, and Merck. His past management responsibilities include ambulatory care, behavioral health, health care policy and quality services at inner city hospitals, the American Hospital Association, and Harvard Pilgrim Health Care. Beau earned his BA in Behavioral Sciences and MBA in Health Administration and Policy at the University of Chicago.
