Guided by cutting-edge research on leadership, innovation, and inclusion, we provide advisory services, inspiring experiences, and accessible digital tools that transform leaders and organizations. 

Our higher purpose is a call to action toward a more just, equitable, interconnected world, driven by aware, effective leaders and inclusive, creative organizations capable of innovating again and again. Paradox offerings are a catalyst in this evolution, sparking positive change leader by leader, organization by organization.  

We were founded by Professor Linda Hill of Harvard Business School and Greg Brandeau, former Senior Vice President of Technology at Pixar — sought-after thinkers, speakers, and change catalysts.

Paradox’s spectrum of strategies grows from Linda Hill’s groundbreaking research among super-creative leaders and ingenious enterprises all over the world; from Greg Brandeau’s Pixar-tested philosophy of innovation; and from the deep field experience of partners Taran Swan and Cheryl Whaley, veterans of the C-Suite and seasoned coaches. 

We are small by design — a team of partners with unique insights into leadership, innovation, and diversity, and a passion for the success of our clients.
