Cameron Herold

“The CEO Whisperer”
Rich Karlgaard, Publisher, Forbes Magazine

Cameron Herold founded The COO Alliance, but you might know him better as the guy who took 1-800-GOT-JUNK? from $2M to $106M in just six and a half years, expanding into 4 countries and 330 cities along the way. Today, he’s one of the most in-demand executive coaches in the world.

He started The COO Alliance in 2016 after noticing something odd: CEOs had masterminds, founders had accelerators, but COOs, the people actually running the business day to day, had nowhere to turn. Nearly a decade later, it’s grown into the largest network of Chief Operating Officers anywhere, and Barcelona marks its first stop in Europe.

He’s spoken in 29 countries across all seven continents, written 7 books (The Second in Command among them), and hosts a podcast by the same name that ranks among the best shows for operators.
