Team
Michael Netzley, PhD, Founder
Tomas Klvana, PhD
Our brain-based leadership development, and work on peak brain performance, is delivered by a small, senior team with depth across neuroscience-informed leadership development, executive education, behavioural science, and applied learning design.
We are deliberate about scale. Judgment work is personal, contextual, and consequential — and it requires maturity, restraint, and trust.
Founder Dr. Michael Netzley is Affiliated Faculty and an Executive Coach at IMD Business School. Over the past two decades, he has worked with more than 15,000 leaders in environments where judgment under pressure is non-negotiable — including banking, aviation, healthcare, energy, hospitality, technology, and large-scale transformation.
His work has been featured in The New York Times, I by IMD magazine, Dialogue by Duke CE, MIT Technology Review, and Channel News Asia.
The broader team brings complementary expertise in learning design, behavioural science, organisational delivery, and AI-supported reinforcement — ensuring the work is rigorous, ethical, and built to last.
We do not optimise people. We work with them — respectfully, realistically, and with an understanding of the pressures they carry.
