History will remember technology's leaders not just for exceptional financial results, but for the values and integrity of the companies they built.
About Us
Leaders in Tech provides programs for leaders of high-growth tech companies who are committed to building high-performing and culturally healthy organizations by offering a safe learning lab where participants can test ideas, challenge each other, and experiment with taking the interpersonal risks necessary for rapid learning and growth.
Backed by a who’s who of technology investors, we foster an intimate community where leaders help each other grow as individuals and thoughtfully address the most pressing challenges and opportunities in their businesses.
Leaders in Tech is a 501(c)(3) organization.
Our Beginnings
It takes a village to create an ecosystem where positive leadership, building inclusive organizations, and making choices with your business to do the right thing are shared values and basic expectations. Our core belief is that leaders who operate this way will outperform those who don’t.
The first step toward that vision is a small group of individual leaders making a commitment to their own growth, supported and accelerated by the power of a close and growing community.
Our Programs
Our flagship 10-month Fellows Program provides in-depth leadership development for startup founders.
Our 4-day Retreats give founders and executive leaders an opportunity to experience the Fellows curriculum in a more condensed format.
Our Team
Co-founded by Carole Robin, Sue Khim, and Joe Greenstein, Leaders in Tech has a robust teaching team of instructors, facilitators, and executive coaches well-versed in supporting startup leaders. Meet the team
