For leaders who refuse to coast.
Leadership · Performance · Resilience · Reinvention · Adventure
Most leadership brands focus on career success. Most athletic brands focus on physical performance. Executive Athletes sits in the middle.
The boardroom. The backcountry ski run. The startup. The comeback. The reinvention. The pursuit never ends.
These aren't values on a poster. They're the operating principles of people who refuse to become spectators in their own lives.
Ken Lubin is Employee #1 at ZRG Partners — today a top-10 global executive search firm. Over 25 years, he has advised CEOs, founders, and investors on the leadership decisions that determine whether their companies win or get left behind.
He has placed hundreds of senior leaders across Fortune 500, private equity, and high-growth businesses. He has sat across the table from the best operators in the industry. He knows what separates the leaders who scale from the ones who plateau.
He also competes. Not as a hobby — as a way of life. He has co-won The Death Race, won the Tuckerman Inferno, competed at the Olympic Cycling Trials, and raced Division I skiing. He continues to chase ski races, adventure races, backcountry descents, road cycling, running, and mountain pursuits.
He founded Executive Athletes in 2010. It grew to 18,000 members, 200 podcast episodes, and sold-out events in six cities. Then life intervened. Now it's back — rebuilt from the ground up as a media platform, not a side project.
For over 25 years, Ken has helped companies identify and recruit exceptional leaders through retained executive search via ZRG Partners.
