Maybe Revolution is the Point.

I help leaders build organizations that strengthen under stress – not just survive it.

Over nearly three decades, I've led transformations at eBay, Mozilla, and Google.org, founded radical, and written books that challenge how we think about disruption, productivity, and organizational strength.

I bring refreshing honesty and zero tolerance for BS to helping leaders turn volatility into competitive advantage.

What I Do

I'm the Co-Founder and Chief Heretic at radical, where we deliver keynotes, workshops, and training programs that build organizational capacity. No theory. No motivational platitudes. Just battle-tested frameworks you can use Monday morning.

My work focuses on:

  • Building organizations that gain from disorder ( not just withstand it)
  • Navigating disruption and industry shifts
  • Leading through uncertainty with clarity
  • Engineering adaptive capacity into teams and cultures

I've taught at Berkeley Haas, Stanford, London Business School, ESMT, and HEC Paris. I've worked with Fortune 500 companies and startups across five continents. And yes, I taught Pilates to two Olympic marathoners from Team USA.
