BIO

Leading the charge at WorkBoard to help companies and the people in them achieve their best results. https://www.workboard.com/ Check out my OKR podcast here: https://www.workboard.com/okr-podcast/ Stats: 3-time entrepreneur, software category creator that took at idea from 0 to 9 digit revenue, from white board to IBM acquisition. Twice inducted into the Smithsonian Institution for innovation, 17 patents granted/pending, and I believe customer relationships are forever. Committed to mentoring and helping others. My views on leadership are informed by my experience with Peter Drucker -- in the first company I founded, we had the honor of working with him to convert his life's work, correspondence and personal notes to a digital archive for Claremont. Today: Every company has strategic priorities and urgency to achieve them. Few have a systematic, data driven way to align, measure and achieve them ... but soon every company will. We help enterprises gain and sustain results velocity with our unique OKRs and Enterprise Results Management platform. As CEO and co-founder, I have the pleasure of working with large enterprise customers and fast-growth startups to operationalize strategies faster so they can realize their visions (and end the soul-sucking reporting and read outs that sap talent today). Hiring: Join us as we create a new SaaS solution category to help organizations and the people in them achieve their best results. https://www.workboard.com/careers/
