Founder

Jeff Mangan

Jeff firmly believes that opportunities for learning, mentoring, and sharing experiences should be accessible to everyone. Unfortunately, many resources related to leadership and ethics remain out of reach for many individuals. Jeff's mission is to change that narrative, while embracing the technology of today.
Jeff has spent 35+ years successfully navigating roles in the private & public sectors. Having led several successful businesses and serving when given the opportunity in both elected and appointed public service roles, Jeff served as Montana's 12th Commissioner of Political Practices, where he developed his expertise in campaign finance, elections, and government ethics. Additionally, Jeff has served as a member of both the Montana House and Senate.
Jeff recognizes that good governance relies on approachable leadership, a steadfast commitment to core values, and the clear communication of these ideals. With AI now so prevalent, preparing an environment that instills ethical AI usage, aiming to empower individuals to effectively navigate the complexities of technology and ethics, and fostering a workplace culture that emphasizes ethical governance is paramount.
