About Phyl Terry
I have devoted the past 25 years to helping leaders learn from each other. I'm the founder and CEO of Collaborative Gain, a community of senior-level leaders who are passionate about helping one another build great products, companies, and careers. And I'm the author of "Never Search Alone: The Job Seeker's Playbook", which helps everyone from CEOs to college students conduct a collaborative search, discover their Candidate-Market Fit, and find jobs at the intersection between their hopes and dreams and market realities. I started my career in the early Internet – on the startup team of the first company Amazon bought and was the longtime CEO of Creative Good, the pioneering customer experience firm that worked with Apple, Facebook, Microsoft, and many others. I sit on for-profit and nonprofit boards, and have launched several global programs including Slow Art Day, Reading Odyssey, and the Warren Buffett Reading Group, which introduces high school and college students to business, finance, leadership and ethics. A graduate of the Harvard Business School, my previous writing includes the book Customers Included (co-authored), contributing a chapter for the book The Warren Buffett Shareholder, and penning the Harvard Business Review article, “Who Can Help the CEO?” I live in Brooklyn, identify as non-binary, and welcome any and all pronouns.
