Jeff Frey, PhD, MBA, MSCS, is an executive coach, researcher, author, and educator whose work focuses on leadership, emotional intelligence, organizational performance, and the human side of technological change. He has worked across higher education, technology, entrepreneurship, and executive development, helping leaders and organizations navigate growth, innovation, and change without losing sight of the people doing the work.

‍

Jeff earned his PhD in Management from Case Western Reserve University’s Weatherhead School of Management, where his research examined leadership effectiveness, wellbeing, and sustainable performance. He also holds an MBA in Strategic Management from Rice University and a master’s degree in computer science. That combination of business, technology, and behavioral science allows him to work comfortably with both the strategic and human dimensions of leadership.

‍

His coaching approach is research-informed and practical. Jeff works with executives and senior leaders on challenges such as organizational change, emotional intelligence, decision-making, sustainable performance, innovation, and the adoption of artificial intelligence. Rather than treating performance and wellbeing as competing priorities, he helps leaders build systems and habits that support both.
