Culture Architect | Executive Alignment Strategist
Align Culture.
Scale Leadership.
Grow with Purpose.
Hey, I’m Cathy Christen!
I’m a Culture Architect and Executive Alignment Strategist who helps founder-led companies scale without the stress, chaos, or culture fallout.
After 23+ years building teams, leading businesses, and living through my own high-growth chaos, I’ve seen what happens when leadership misaligns, and what’s possible when it locks in.
Today, I guide founder-led companies, typically $5M to $50M in revenue, through SCALE™, my culture operating system for aligning leaders, retaining talent, and building momentum that lasts. It’s also the subject of my book, The SCALE Advantage.
As seen on…
GoBundance is a mastermind of healthy, wealthy, generous women who choose to lead epic lives.
What People Say
Most Requested Services
Keynote Speaking
Energize your audience with talks built on the SCALE™ framework, my culture operating system for founder-led companies. From leadership alignment to culture as profit protection, every talk gives your audience language and tools they can use the moment they leave the room, not just inspiration that fades by the parking lot.
Workshops & Masterclasses
Interactive sessions where your team experiences the SCALE™ process firsthand, not just hears about it. Built around real alignment challenges, communication breakdowns, and the moments growth starts to outpace leadership, these sessions give teams a working model for solving what’s actually in front of them.
Executive Alignment Intensives & Retreats
Two-day executive offsites (Intensives) and three-day ongoing retreats built for leadership teams ready to go deeper. We uncover what’s really happening beneath the surface, align the team around a clear 90-day path forward, and return for a three-day retreat to reinforce the work, deepen trust, and reset commitments as the company grows. This is where founder-led companies build the leadership team that can carry the business without the founder standing in the middle of it.
