About Glenn

Glenn Llopis is a Cuban-American entrepreneur, best-selling author, and one of the most trusted voices on leadership, workforce transformation, and the future of work. He is the founder and CEO of GLLG, a research, consulting, and leadership development firm that has helped shape the cultures of some of the world's most respected organizations.

His story starts with loss. Glenn was born into a family that lost their country to Fidel Castro's revolution, and he learned early that identity isn't something you're handed. It's something you earn, protect, and lead from. That truth runs through everything he does, from his research on personalized leadership to a decades-long commitment to helping people and organizations unlock what makes them distinct. For Glenn, it was never backstory. It was the blueprint.

He is the author of six influential books: Earning Serendipity, The Innovation Mentality, Leadership in the Age of Personalization, Unleashing Individuality, Make Reinvention Your Superpower, and Earning Conviction. Each one looks, from a different angle, at how people and organizations grow by embracing who they really are. His frameworks have appeared in Forbes, Harvard Business Review, and Entrepreneur, and across an 18-year run as a Forbes contributor they've reached millions of readers and practitioners around the world.

Over two decades, Glenn has partnered with leading Fortune 500 companies, healthcare systems, and universities, among them General Mills, Walmart, CVS Health, Target, Coca-Cola, and PepsiCo, to build cultures where people are seen, known, and free to lead with conviction. His work lives at the intersection of identity, strategy, and human performance, turning deeply personal insight into measurable outcomes for both individual reinvention and organizational change.

To the leaders who work with him, Glenn is something rarer than a coach: a kind of corporate psychologist, not by training but by instinct, who understands people as deeply as he understands business. He sees what others miss. Not just an organization's culture, politics, and unwritten ways of working, but the human currents running beneath them: the quiet power struggles, the words left unsaid, and the fear that keeps good people from doing what they know is right.

More than that, he sees the person. He notices the exhaustion behind the confidence, the doubt behind the title, and the quiet longing to lead with integrity in a system that rarely makes it easy. Leaders open up to Glenn because, often for the first time, they feel genuinely understood, and safe enough to face what they've been avoiding.

He's also the kind of leader others lean on. He has led at the highest levels and remembers what it cost. He mentors with patience and honesty, and he keeps a clear head when everything around him feels uncertain.

Away from the work, Glenn is a husband to Annette and a father to Annabella, and a lifelong student of what it means to lead from the inside out. He believes the most powerful thing any of us can do is show up as exactly who we are, say what's true, and do what's right in the moments fear is loudest. And then turn around and help someone else do the same.
