About Reed
I am a seasoned entrepreneur, business strategist, and innovator with nearly two decades of experience in the services industry, spanning healthcare, education, financial services, professional consulting, and horticultural services. I co-founded seven businesses, achieving a consolidated revenue of $20 million+, including a successful exit. Early in my career, I excelled in management consulting, developing and launching three products that generated $57 million in annual revenue within four years.
As part of my career, I had the privilege of working directly with renowned innovator Clayton M. Christensen at Harvard Business School (HBS), leading strategy projects that advanced groundbreaking ideas in business innovation and cultural excellence. I also collaborated with HBS’s prestigious think tank, the Forum for Growth & Innovation, where I deepened my expertise in disruptive innovation and strategic growth frameworks. These hands-on experiences with such influential initiatives have profoundly shaped my approach to leadership and problem-solving.
