🎤 Next Speaker: Victor Saad
Victor is a talent leader, coach, and educator focused on helping people navigate transitions.
In 2012, he designed his own master’s program by completing 12 projects in 12 months, calling it The Leap Year Project. That experience culminated in staging his graduation at a local TEDx and publishing a book of community stories centered on learning through risk. Following that year, he partnered with a group of leaders to launch Experience Institute, an organization helping students and professionals grow through real-world, experiential learning focused on the skills that matter most for life and work.
In 2015, Victor was named to Forbes 30 Under 30 in education. He later joined Stanford’s School of Engineering as a Lecturer in Design, where he helped students reimagine their education through experience. Over time, the program he helped build evolved from a non-credit elective into a core course for all juniors in the Stanford d.school.
Today, Victor serves as Chairman of the Board at Experience Institute and Chief Talent Officer at NextGen Growth Partners, where he supports the growth of the firm’s team and partners with founders as they transition their businesses alongside the next generation of CEOs.
