About GloCoach

Built by leaders.
For the decisions leaders face.

Founded in 2018 to build the behavioral evidence layer the world’s leadership decisions were missing. We’ve spent the years since building the data, the technology, and the category to fill it.

Why GloCoach exists

The world’s most important leadership decisions were being made with insufficient evidence — boards approving succession on manager nominations, CEOs promoting for past performance into roles that demand something entirely different.

The intelligence existed — in the behavioral record of every leader, every decision, every high-stakes moment. It had simply never been captured, structured, or made decision-grade.

GloCoach was founded in 2018 to build exactly that: the behavioral evidence layer the world’s leadership decisions were missing. Seven years on, the platform is the result of building that evidence base one leader at a time.

What we stand for

Four commitments behind every decision we support.

Human-driven, AI-powered.

Humans first, AI second.

Lance reads the signals; people make the calls. We build technology that sharpens human judgment — never technology that replaces it.

Confidentiality is the product.

Evidence this honest only exists where people trust the system. We protect individual confidentiality like the business depends on it — because ours does.

Zero-defect, or it doesn’t ship.

Decisions of this weight deserve evidence you never have to second-guess. We hold our platform to quality standards borrowed from industries where mistakes aren’t an option.

Intentionally different.

We didn’t set out to build a better assessment or a nicer coaching program. We set out to build what was missing: the intelligence layer between strategy and the people who deliver it.

The team

From top-tier strategy, finance, technology, and high-reliability operations — to building the future of leadership intelligence.

We have been in the room when the wrong succession choice cost an organization its momentum. We built GloCoach so that never happens for want of evidence.
