JOHN FRAME, FOUNDER/CEO

I’m a catalyst for bold leadership.

I’m on a mission to make those big, expensive (yet highly effective) corporate leadership development programs accessible to start-ups at a fraction of the cost.

I bring two decades of experience developing executives and managers in enterprise companies and start-ups, across Big Tech (LinkedIn, Uber, Rakuten), education (NYC Department of Education), fashion (Reformation) and nonprofits (Teach for America, City Year). Along the way I equipped myself with an exceptional MBA from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business and the most advanced coaching education from the Co-Active Training Institute.

And I’m an entrepreneur myself (founder of KIPP Philosophers Academy and John Frame Consulting) committed to helping next-gen founders buck the failure trend and lead boldly in business…

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. I'm grateful for John's partnership.

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.
