Josh Linkner Featured Serial Entrepreneur; New York Times Best-Selling Author; Venture Capital Investor
Josh Linkner — a New York Times bestselling author — is a rare blend of business, art, and science.
On the business front, he’s been the founder and CEO of five tech companies, which created over 10,000 jobs and sold for a combined value of over $200 million. He’s the co-founder and Managing Partner of Muditā (mooDEE-tah) Venture Partners – an early-stage venture capital firm investing in groundbreaking technologies. Over the last 30 years, he’s helped over 100 startups launch and scale, creating over $1 billion in investor returns. He’s twice been named the EY Entrepreneur of The Year and is the recipient of the United States Presidential Champion of Change Award.
While proud of his business success, his roots are in the dangerous world of jazz music. He’s been playing guitar in smoky jazz clubs for 40 years, studied at the prestigious Berklee College of Music, and has performed over 1000 concerts around the world.
His experiences in both business and music led him to become one of the world’s foremost experts on innovation. Josh is the co-founder and Chairman of Platypus Labs, a global research, training, and consulting firm. Today, he’s on a mission to help leaders Find A Way™ through creative problem-solving, inventive thinking, and ingenuity.
Leadership Communication & Presentation Skills: Persuasive communication, influence, storytelling, and presentation skills are the most critical, yet least developed, leadership capability in business today. As a Founding Partner of ImpactEleven, Josh works directly with leaders and high potential employees on Presentation Mastery where participants walk away confident and prepared for their own high stakes moments - speaking at a big event, inspiring their team at an all-hands meeting, influencing a key client, and the countless other opportunities to motivate and inspire others. Programming is delivered through custom workshops for your company or group, through private one-on-one coaching, or at ImpactEleven's ticketed event, The Academy.
