As founder and CEO of ClearlyNext, Elliott Brown has developed AI-based software and content to make professional career coaching accessible, affordable and scalable to a mass market. ClearlyNext is initially targeting early- to mid-career professionals through university alumni associations and membership groups. Partners include Villanova, Stanford, and Teach for America.

Springboard Forward was twice named by Fast Company Magazine as one of the “Top 25 Groups that are Changing the World.” Former U.S. Secretary of Labor, Robert Reich, called Springboard Forward “a wonderful example of leveraging capitalism to address the economic divide.”
