Entrepreneur · Philanthropist · Teacher · Violinist. Founder of the Seth Taube Foundation.
After founding two billion-dollar companies and taking them public, I learned from the inside the limits of playing finite games and the perils of the current incentive system.
Since then, I’ve come back to deeper questions: What does a win-win future look like for humanity and the planet?

Experience
01
Leadership
I spent two decades building companies. Now, I build the kind of teams where people do their best work because they want to.

Talent Development
I invest in people early and give them real ownership. Most of what I know about leadership I learned by handing it to someone else.
03
Mental Wellness
Through the Foundation, I support work that heals trauma and makes inner peace accessible to more people.

Music & The Arts
I have played the violin most of my life. Music taught me to listen before I lead.

Teaching
I teach what I have had to learn the hard way: how to build without losing yourself in the building.
