Most growth conversations start in the wrong place.
They start with tactics — a new channel, a new product, a new pricing model. But the companies that sustain growth don’t choose tactics first. They choose sequence. They understand the market context they’re operating in, and they make decisions in the right order, at the right time. That’s Growth IQ.
After nearly 30 years advising and leading some of the world’s most recognized technology companies — as a Research Fellow and Distinguished Analyst at Gartner, as Growth and Innovation Evangelist at Salesforce, and now as Chief Strategy & Research Officer at The Futurum Group — that conviction hasn’t changed. But what I’ve learned since has.
The missing variable in most growth models isn’t the customer. It’s the employee. My research (conducted with Forbes and Edelman) found that companies who invest equally in employee experience and customer experience grow faster, retain more, and build more durable businesses. That’s the Experience Mindset.
Now, as AI reshapes every go-to-market motion, the same principle applies: technology amplifies the decisions you make — good and bad. Leaders who understand how to align people, process, and AI-driven intelligence will have an extraordinary advantage. Those who don’t will wonder where their growth went.
What I do:
• Keynote at conferences and corporate events for Fortune 500 and high-growth tech companies.
• Advise executive teams on growth strategy, GTM transformation, and experience-led growth.
• Lead research and strategy at The Futurum Group.
• Host conversations with the world’s most interesting business minds on the What’s Next! Podcast.
• Two Wall Street Journal bestsellers. Six years on the Thinkers50 Top 50.
• Featured in Harvard Business Review, Forbes, MIT Sloan, and Bloomberg.
