At the Forefront of Next-Gen Leadership

JOHN FRAME, FOUNDER/CEO

My narrative defies all logic and expectations. As a gay brown kid from inner-city Detroit, my story travels from abject poverty and first-generation college graduate of the University of Chicago, to successful charter school founder, University of Chicago Booth MBA graduate, and dynamic Silicon Valley talent development leader and business strategy consultant.

It is so refreshing that John takes the time to truly listen to me and help me identify major blind spots that severely hold me back from achieving some of my goals. He brings a diverse and valuable set of perspectives from having worked with tech executives, and knows exactly what questions to ask to help me evaluate and own my professional decisions.

John brings an innovative approach to our work on diversity, equity and inclusion strategy. He frames solutions in terms of what would drive real competitive value for the business, not just internal cultural improvements. This combination really is game-changing, and helps to accelerate our goals, resulting in outcomes that are years ahead of where they would be without his guidance.
