Our Leadership Story

Our Founder, Beck Sydow (they/them), is an SMB (Small Medium Business) leader just like you. Prior to launching HumanKind Business Leaders™️, Beck spent five years as CEO/COO of a company that sustained hyper-growth while also deeply committed to people and culture.

Beck joined this successful company as employee 47 when annual revenue was $12 million. Under their leadership, the company grew to more than 130 employees producing $32 million in revenue—a whopping 170 percent increase in top line alongside a 100 percent increase in profits. The business was acquired in 2021.

The company’s success was directly connected to its culture, values, vision, and the frameworks they utilized to build an award-winning ecosystem.

Earlier in their professional career, Beck was on the leadership team of another organization with growth potential. However, once revenues reached $10 million, the company ran out of cash—despite a great business model and book of clients.

Beck founded HBL to provide business advising along with leadership and executive coaching to companies at both ends of this spectrum—from wildly successful to facing a few hurdles—and anywhere in between.

A deep commitment to leadership team development and the sharing of their knowledge and the skills to build, grow, and scale organizations across the continuum of business and leadership may have been formed in their past, but it now guides their future.
