About Carl Sanders-Edwards
Carl wants to democratize leadership development. He brings a unique perspective to this challenge with experience from manufacturing, software development, leadership and innovation.
Carl has a Manufacturing Engineering undergraduate degree and started his career working with continuous improvement teams in Toyota and Fisher & Paykel (white ware manufacturer). Following this he spent five years with Accenture leading teams that developed software, business process and strategy solutions for a wide range of organizations in New Zealand, Australia and Canada.
Moving to the UK, he developed the management systems that enabled start-up RightMove.co.uk to grow from no revenue to a US billion dollar IPO within three years. Inspired by technology, on returning to New Zealand, Carl co-founded, grew and sold New Zealand’s largest online gift store (at the time); browniepoints.co.nz.
Carl has since brought together principles of lean manufacturing and agile software development to assist 100’s of organizations from startups to multinationals. He has helped them define their identity, develop strategies, coach leaders and deliver projects to improve performance. Through these engagements Carl recognized a common theme – successful organizations need people with continually improving leadership skills at every level. A particularly influential experience was creating a learning and development strategy for an investment company in the Middle East who wanted to develop its own CEO’s rather than hire externals.
Unsatisfied with the existing leadership development offerings Carl founded JumpShift.co.nz in New Zealand. From this base Carl has founded the technology platform Adeption.io, now based in San Francisco to deliver scalable Leadership Development coaching. Adeption.io leverages AI with an engaging app, micro learning and behavior change theory to take leadership development from classroom theory into a daily practice.
Carl has a Fulbright Scholarship in Entrepreneurship with an MBA from Babson College in Mass US where he graduated with various awards and publications including class Valedictorian.
