Travis Hahler

Senior Director, Global Strategy & Transformation
Salesforce

Travis D Hahler transforms how Fortune 500 companies navigate change by revealing a startling truth: Resistance isn’t rebellion—it’s biology.

As author of an upcoming Fast Company Original book, Senior Director of Global Strategy and Transformation at Salesforce, and Founder of The Neurological Nomad, Hahler brings an unprecedented fusion of neuroscience and business acumen to organizational transformation. His unique journey conducting EEG research in Denmark, studying neuropsychology at Harvard, earning an MBA, and leading change at Google, Salesforce, and others, makes him a unique transformation expert who can explain why your amygdala sabotages your strategic plan and why you can blame everything on your basal ganglia.

Over fifteen years, Hahler has guided more than one hundred companies through successful transformations, earning him the nickname Resistance Fortune Teller for his uncanny ability to predict where change efforts will fail. His signature keynote, The Neuroscience of Change, has reached over 25,000 leaders across 150 global events, consistently delivering that aha moment when executives finally understand why 70 percent of transformations fail to achieve their goals. And, more importantly, how they can join the successful 30 percent.

Hahler's upcoming book represents his continued mission to democratize neuroscience for business leaders and helping them to embrace it to lead transformational change.
