Ian’s journey to Team Retreatz began in the late 1990s when he spent seven years running a 650-employee company that provided youth sports programming to a variety of professional sports organizations including Major League Soccer, the NFL and Jack Nickalus’ Golden Bear International.
After getting married in 2006, he traded the grind of 100,000+ flight miles a year for the short commute to a private Bay Area University, where he led several capital fundraising campaigns and saw the institution through its transition to NCAA Division II.
In 2009, seeking to break free from the constraints of academic bureaucracy, he launched a business development practice to pursue his true passion and purpose: helping business leaders plan more strategically, grow more reliably, and maximize the talent within their companies. His first business book, “Replacing the Rainmaker,” published in 2015, was an homage to six years spent in the trenches with an amazing collection of business visionaries.
Today, fusing three decades of executive and entrepreneurial experience, Ian helps entrepreneurs get more from every aspect of their businesses by facilitating memorable out-of-office gatherings that ignite creativity, passion and productivity, and coaching individuals to re-tool their career and live their best lives.
Ian holds an MBA in strategic leadership from Dominican University of California, and a bachelor’s degree in sports science from the University of Northumbria. His passions include exercise, golf, family, and travel. A native of England, he lives in Palm Desert, California, with his wife and teenage daughter.

The average company loses $2 million in productivity per year due to disengagement. The culprit is the four forces of disengagement–mismatches between your employee and their role, manager, culture, and team–resulting in employees who do the bare minimum to keep their job. What could you accomplish with a fully engaged team? The PI Employee Experience Survey™ allows managers to easily gauge employees and gather candid, confidential feedback on their work experience. The survey provides engagement trends at every level of your organization—whether that’s a team, a department, or your entire company. Insights will allow you to customize your actions to group strengths and needs, and improve engagement at micro and macro levels.
