🚀 Head of Content, Staffbase | Change Communication, Marketing | I help digital leaders and corporations connect ideas, minds and metrics to drive meaningful transformations

Hi, I'm Brian 👋🏽
Most leaders think the path forward is optimization.
They're always adding — more skills, more certifications, more grind. And they usually end up burning themselves and their teams out.
I believe it's reinvention.
That's why I created Personal Innovation — a systematic approach to help mid-career professionals reinvent themselves into AI-powered leaders.
The framework is built on 3 pillars:

CLARITY — Know who you are and what you want
GROWTH — Build the systems, skills, and confidence to evolve
IMPACT — Lead with influence and create work that matters

AI accelerates every pillar — helping you think clearer, move faster, and lead with confidence.

My story:
A few years ago, I asked myself: What do I actually want?
I realized I wanted authenticity, growth, and meaningful impact. So I stopped waiting for permission and reinvented myself.
Now I help mission-driven companies build thought leadership engines and content systems that drive demand. I coach mid-career professionals through their own reinventions. And I help leaders navigate the AI era without burning out.

What I bring:
For 20+ years, I've specialized in making complex ideas accessible and systematic — from building education programs for 12,000+ employees across 126 countries to growing social channels to 100k+ followers.

I believe professional reinvention should be systematic, not accidental. 

That's why I build:
→ Content engines that translate expert thinking into action
→ AI-driven systems that scale impact without scaling effort
→ Frameworks that make leadership development accessible to people who don't have MBAs or executive coaches

My background spans sales, digital transformation, and marketing leadership — across mission-driven tech, enterprise software, and global startups.

I'm also a runner 🏃🏾‍♂️, reader 👨‍🏫, podcaster 🎙️, and father of two 🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒.

I love working with leaders who:
- Feel stuck despite their success
- Want to evolve without losing themselves
- Value systems over motivation
- Are ready to lead with AI, not resist it

If that's you, we should chat.
