It doesn’t mean anything. It’s a word some MBA made up because he thought more syllables make you sound smarter. But when said syllables are meaningless, the opposite is true.
Most of those who do violence to the language thus will tell you “It’s the opposite of ‘reactive’” – but it’s not. The opposite of “reactive” is “active”; no one has ever ’proacted", no one has taken a “proaction”.
It is the opposite of “literate”, of “erudite”, of “intelligent”.
