Roger Pearman, EdD

CEO & Co-Founder

Roger co-founded TalentTelligent® to close the gap between decades of behavioral research and the daily reality of coaching a leader, a manager, or a team. As CEO, he has spent more than 30 years turning personality science and emotional intelligence research into tools practitioners can put to use the same day they learn them.

Before TalentTelligent®, Roger was an operational executive in financial services, then a founder or partner at four additional learning organizations and consultancies. He has trained leaders across government, business, and education, and authored a number of best-selling books on personality type and emotional intelligence in talent development.

Robert Eichinger, PhD

Co-Founder

Bob spent the first half of his career building the tools that talent management still runs on today: the competency movement, the 9-box, learning agility, and the 70-20-10 framework. He is not done. As co-founder and Chief Innovation Officer of TalentTelligent, he is applying fifty years of research to the KSA Suite.

You know Bob as the co-founder and CEO of Lominger International, where he authored more than 50 books, articles, software products, and other intellectual property on talent management and succession planning. Before Lominger, he led employment, affirmative action, training, and executive development at Pillsbury, then oversaw international and later company-wide executive development at PepsiCo.

Bob holds a PhD in Industrial and Organizational Psychology from the University of Minnesota. Read Bob’s most recent thought leadership articles to see how his experience continues to shape TalentTelligent’s tools today.

Lisa-Marie Hanson

Chief Learning Officer and Associate

Lisa-Marie makes sure the research behind TalentTelligent®’s tools actually lands with the people using them. As Chief Learning Officer, she leads certifications, facilitates 360 coaching, and designs the learning experiences that turn a framework into a habit.

Her 30-plus years in the talent space include product leadership roles inside financial services and fashion retail organizations, giving her a practitioner’s eye for what works inside a real company, not only in a classroom. She is an expert in adult learning and a seasoned card sort facilitator, and she has seen firsthand how that process changes the conversations an organization has about its people.

Lisa-Marie holds a master’s degree in Human Resource Development and Adult Learning from The University of Minnesota.

Garrick Throckmorton

Chief Operating Officer and Associate

Garrick runs the day-to-day of TalentTelligent® with the perspective of someone who has sat on the other side of the table. As Chief Operating Officer, his focus is making sure the science behind TalentTelligent®’s tools translates into structures that help people grow, leaders scale, and organizations build a bench they can trust.

His work as an internal HR practitioner has centered on the belief that culture drives results, a philosophy that has drawn attention from the Wall Street Journal and Harvard University. He has held influential roles across financial services, healthcare, higher education, and consumer goods.

Garrick holds a master’s degree in Counseling from Wake Forest University.

Dan Ahern

Chief Client Engagement Officer

Dan is usually the first real conversation a prospective client has with TalentTelligent®. With more than 20 years in the assessment and competency-based training and development world, he translates the KSA Suite into a plain answer to the question every prospect is really asking: will this work for my organization?

He has supported professionals in more than 200 organizations applying psychological type, traits, emotional intelligence, brain-based learning and coaching, competency-based assessment, and 360-degree multi-rater tools, so the conversation starts from what has actually worked elsewhere, not a generic pitch.
