We exist to
scale excellence
Humans are hardwired to pursue excellence. Given the right conditions—challenge, feedback, and opportunity—people naturally seek to master their craft. Work isn't merely a place to earn a living; it's the ideal environment for this pursuit.
Exec exists to support our clients with the infrastructure to scale excellence. Our talent development platform combines the precision and tirelessness of AI with the irreplaceable guidance of expert coaches to cultivate the dormant potential in every employee.
Our Guiding Principles
Letter From The Founders
Nick and I share a fundamental conviction: the pursuit of excellence is part of a life well-lived. And work—by pushing the boundaries of our competence—provides the ideal environment to facilitate this drive.
We've both personally witnessed how organizations thrive when everyone from the C-suite to the frontline commits to getting better each day. While these companies often set performance standards from the top, they recognize the importance of giving their people the guidance and tools to meet those expectations.
The challenge to support growth and development has always been one of scale. The most powerful development tools have historically been impossible to democratize.
At Exec, we intentionally created a platform that weaves together the best of human expertise with advanced AI to ensure the tools of excellence are accessible at scale. Whether you lead a team of ten or ten thousand, we believe that everyone who cares enough to improve deserves the resources to do so.
We'd be honored to help you build an organization where excellence isn't the exception but the standard.
Sincerely,
Sean Linehan & Nick deWilde
