1 Billion Dollar
Transformation
NinjaTrader was stuck — a $500M acquisition had collapsed and the org was working against its own leadership. Talentism rebuilt the structure around how the CEO actually operates. Eighteen months later, the company sold for $1.5B.
Read the NinjaTrader case study“It wasn’t just coaching. It was a very well-designed system, with a framework for everything. Talentism helped us up-level people, put them in the right roles, and even shape how our board operated.”
“Talentism transformed the top level team and created by far three x value from where it was prior. It was the best investment we ever put in the company.”

Why Talentism works.
Every solution we offer is grounded in a single battle-tested methodology built from 13 years of working inside hyper-growth companies.
Proprietary Data
13+ years of pattern data from 1,000+ hyper-growth companies. We've seen your breaking points before and we know what comes next.
Behavioral Science
Our methodology is grounded in neuroscience and behavioral science, not management theory. We work with how the human brain actually operates under pressure.
Technology-Powered
AI tools that embed our methodology into your team's daily workflow, not just quarterly sessions. The Talentism system works in the 167 hours between coaching calls.
The people behind the methodology.
Every Talentism coach is trained in and operates from the same Clarity Methodology. Jeff Hunter developed it. Trevor Hunter co-authored it. Together they lead a team of master coaches who bring it to founders and executives at hyper-growth companies around the world.
Jeff Hunter
CEO, Founder
Jeff founded Talentism on the conviction that human clarity is the ultimate lever on company performance. He developed the Clarity Methodology and has spent 13+ years helping founders and CEOs at hyper-growth companies unlock what they're truly capable of.
Libbie Thacker
Coach, Managing Partner
Libbie helps female founders and CEOs, female named successors, and Chief People Officers translate ambiguity into actionable frameworks and scale their organizations by bringing the operator experience of someone who has done it at every stage from hypergrowth startup to public company.
Greg Kim
Coach, Head of Product
Greg works with C-suite executives at pre-seed through pre-IPO startups whose teams are misaligned, stuck in ambiguity, or moving too slowly for the stage they're at. He names what others won't, and gets to the real problem fast with a clear path forward.
“Talentism transformed leadership at Andela. We wouldn’t be a unicorn without it.”
