I’m the CEO of The Kanthal Group, where I work with C-Suite executives and senior leadership teams who are dealing with trust breakdowns, team friction, and conversations no one wants to have out loud. I’m often brought in when performance issues aren’t about strategy, but about the people involved. Misalignment at the top. Avoided feedback. Artificial harmony. Decisions that stall because no one is saying what they really think. My work focuses on helping leaders cut through that noise and head trash, and address the reality unfolding inside their teams. I specialize in executive communication, team performance, trust, and feedback. I help leaders understand how trust is earned, eroded, and rebuilt, how feedback lands versus how it’s intended, and how leaders can unintentionally create defensiveness, silence, or disengagement on their teams. I don’t speak in psych jargon or leadership clichés. My perspective comes from years of working inside organizations and coaching leaders in high-stakes moments where relationships, results, and reputations are all on the line. Media often come to me for clear, quotable insight on leadership behavior, workplace dynamics, conflict, decision-making, and the human side of performance.

Curiosity is my superpower; I use it to build, lead, and innovate. Whether it’s developing ethical AI solutions, leading teams, or teaching others how to leverage AI effectively, I bring a curious twist to every conversation. If you love tech, big ideas, and a little controlled chaos, you’re in the right place. What are you missing by not being curious? Curiosity is how you stay ahead and turn uncertainty into opportunity and clarity. Stepping away from my last startup allowed me to explore Web3, AI, and what it takes to scale with impact. That’s when I realized that curiosity is one of the most undervalued growth strategies in business. AI, Web3, scaling, and community-building will not succeed without leaders who ask the right questions before rushing to answers. The most significant breakthroughs don’t come from chasing trends. They come from pausing long enough to ask a better question. I help entrepreneurs, founders, and leaders turn curiosity into their competitive edge. I leverage AI, strategy, and culture to build products and services that are not only scalable but also ethical and inclusive. Through Curiosity as a Service, I can help you: Build ethical AI products your customers trust, and your competitors can’t replicate. Integrate AI without losing trust or differentiation. Leverage AI for new revenue, not just efficiency. I can help you break out of survival mode and unlock sustainable growth using curiosity, AI-driven insights, and strategic decision-making. Most of my clients see a 25% revenue increase within 90 days. Are you curious about what smarter strategy and AI could do for you?
