Researcher, Speaker, & Creator of Tight Loops™
I work with founders and CEOs who want to go faster, grow bigger, and flow better.
I'm glad you're here. If you're wondering whether I can help, the best way to find out is to see what I'm working on.
When I'm in front of a leadership team, I don't start with a slide. I start with your own data, live in the room, and we go from there.
Organizations don't lose their capability as they grow. They drift apart. Tight Loops explains why. Loose loops create friction. Tight loops create flow.
The Center for Organizational Drift is where I do the research behind all of this. It studies how growing companies quietly come apart, and publishes what it finds.
Lead the People, my weekly podcast conversation with leaders about what actually holds teams together.
Expand the Circle, my book on leading yourself first, then your team, then everyone your work touches.
About me
I help growing companies recover the momentum they lose as they scale. I'm the creator of Tight Loops™, a method for finding where friction accumulates inside organizations and reversing it. I bring it to peer-led CEO groups, executive teams, and frontline leaders through my keynote The Growth Paradox and hands-on workshops.
I also serve as Vice President at The Predictive Index and hold a PhD in Psychology, an MBA, and a Harvard Business School Certificate of Management Excellence. I'm part-time faculty at Boston College, where I teach graduate-level leadership courses. I'm an active member of the National Speakers Association and a member of the NSA Veterans Affinity Group.
☕ If my work resonates, I'd genuinely enjoy swapping notes over a virtual coffee—no agenda.
