Forrest Derr Media Kit

I speak to founders and leadership teams who feel stuck between growth and exhaustion. My work lives at the intersection of operations, accountability, and leadership clarity. I help businesses install structure that produces results, not just good meetings, and clean charts.  Most audiences already have tools or systems, but the problem is execution. Accountability slips, decisions bottleneck, and founders stay buried in the weeds. My talks and podcast conversations focus on closing that gap.

Common themes include building teams that deliver without micromanagement, replacing firefighting with playbooks, and using fractional leadership to get C-level outcomes without full-time cost. I speak directly to the hard questions leaders avoid. Who owns what. Why results stall. What breaks during growth. How to step out of the day-to-day without losing control.

If your audience includes founders, operators, or executives who want clarity, traction, and real accountability, these conversations land. Topics I cover are practical, direct, and built from real operating experience, not theory.
