More about Drew Fortin:

Drew is a people-first, values-driven leader with nearly 20 years of growth strategy and team-building experience across retail, marketing technology, local media, and HR tech. He spent 7 years at The Predictive Index, where he was Chief Growth Officer responsible for the company's strategy to build the world's first talent optimization platform. Drew is obsessed with helping leaders everywhere embrace the shift that technology is having on the employee/employer relationship. This led him to founding Lever Talent, where he is now CEO.

He believes that you are capable of more than you could ever imagine.

I am an extremely passionate growth leader. I started my career impatient, driven, and naive - pushing hard to climb the corporate ladder and eventually found myself fired from a highly coveted growth-stage start-up in my mid-20s. 

That moment sent me on a journey of self-discovery. I realized I'm a fixer, visionary leader, relationship builder, and goal setter. I'm successful working with people. 

I’m fascinated by the human condition and discovering how to use personal development and leadership to move the greatest growth lever - people. Over the last 18 years, I've learned that if you paint a vision big enough, vivid enough, surround yourself with people you admire and trust, and you’ll be amazed at how quickly you can grow. 

On a macro level, the employee-employer relationship is broken. Thankfully, employees are gaining leverage, and the power dynamic with employers is shifting.

I’m now the founder and CEO of Lever Talent, Inc. We’re flipping the script by helping businesses lean into this shift - bringing humanity back to business.

We help leaders find leverage in themselves, their teams, and their strategies. And we help companies find leverage by identifying their superpowers and developing complementary processes to spur growth at scale.

Let’s grow, always, in all ways.
