Elliot has over six years of experience implementing Scaling Up and Metronomics as a CEO and operator — an experience that fundamentally shapes his approach to coaching.
Elliot trained directly with Shannon Susko at the Metronomics New Coach Onsite and is actively coaching leadership teams through Foundation-phase implementation, including the full meeting rhythm, cultural system buildout, and 3HAG development. He holds certifications in Predictive Index and Topgrading, equipping him to drive the Human System alongside the Strategic and Execution Systems.
Elliot’s focus on people, culture, and talent optimization as an operator — combined with deep, hands-on AI experience — gives him a clear perspective on how organizations must evolve to compete as AI reshapes competitive advantage at every stage, from AI-native startups to established enterprises. He brings that perspective directly into his coaching practice, building AI-augmented approaches that extract deeper strategic insight from every leadership interaction, stress-test decisions before they’re made, and accelerate work across the full meeting rhythm and every step of the 3HAG Flywheel. The method stays orthodox. The practice wrapper innovates.
