Alan Eagle

Alan Eagle is a business author and executive communications consultant whose work centers on leadership, management, performance, and organizational culture. A former Google managing director, he co-authored the bestselling books How Google Works and Trillion Dollar Coach, and later co-authored Learned Excellence, shaping contemporary conversations about leadership and high performance.

Biografia e Percorso dell'Autore

Alan Eagle grew up in Northern California and later paired technical training with business education, earning a bachelor’s degree in computer science from Dartmouth College and an MBA from the Wharton School. Before he became known as an author, he spent years in Silicon Valley startups, working in sales and product roles at five different companies. That early period appears to have been formative: by his own public bio, two of those ventures succeeded and three did not. The experience gave him a practical grounding in technology, markets, and organizational life before he arrived at the role that would define his public career.
