Nathaniel Greene
Nathaniel Greene is an expert in accelerating the development of high-potential young people. At age 28, Nat cofounded and led a management consulting firm that quickly grew into best in class. Their model was to recruit top-1% college graduates and rapidly accelerate their development to solve high-value, “impossible” problems for Global 1000 clients. Winning Consulting Magazine's Best Small Firm to Work for 7 out of 8 years stands as a testament to Nat’s unparalleled skill in recruiting and cultivating exceptional talent.
As a father of four children, at all different stages of the career process, Nat has learnt that while each child has unique needs, there is a consistent underlying strategy for success in life. Nat founded Futures Forge to help ambitious students build the skills and habits that set them apart as high performers.
Growing up in Hong Kong, where his father was a university professor, Nat developed an early and lasting commitment to education at the highest level. Nat holds an undergraduate and master’s degree in Engineering from the University of Oxford, completed the one year ACDMM course at the University of Cambridge, and completed Harvard’s Owner/President Management program. He also served for seven years on the Development Board at Christ Church, Oxford, and is a long-standing member of YPO, where he founded the Seacoast chapter in New Hampshire.
Erik Fogg
Erik Fogg is a serial entrepreneur and educational innovator dedicated to helping high-potential young people unlock their potential. Erik leads by equipping students with the mindset, structure, and tools to succeed independently, under stress, and at scale. Erik studied mechanical engineering and political science at MIT, system-hacking the registrar to earn both bachelors and masters within his 4-year full scholarship.
Erik has led three venture-backed startups, cofounding two. He brought one to exit, raised $25 million and grew the company to nearly 60 employees. He developed a “founder-factory” where 3 of his team grew to launch their own startups. Erik found that his greatest joy as an executive comes in coaching, and he has brought that love to Futures Forge.
Erik leads the Facilitator team as well as Futures Forge’s research on performance and pedagogy. He draws both from his real-world startup and leadership experience, and also the proven methods from the state of the art, to develop and deploy the curriculum.
