Founded by

He grew 1-800-GOT-JUNK? from $2M to $106M in six years. Now he helps Second in Command leaders do the same.

Known as “The CEO Whisperer,” Cameron is one of the most in-demand executive coaches in the world. He has coached executives at hundreds of companies, spoken in 29 countries, and is the bestselling author of The Second in Command, Vivid Vision and Meetings Suck.

In 2016 he founded COO Alliance after noticing something odd: CEOs had masterminds and founders had accelerators, but the people actually running the business day to day had nowhere to turn.

Today the Alliance gives Second in Command leaders monthly mastermind calls, in-person COO Connect events and a vetted private network, so no operator has to figure it out alone.
