Raj Sundra
Raj’s passion and systems approach to scaling businesses and maximizing human performance took flight at Cornell University with a Masters in Mechanical Engineering with a focus on product design, and a minor in Educational Psychology focused on human performance. He put his passion into action co-leading Speck Products, a leading iPhone and MacBook accessory company, from $0 to $22M in sales in three years – reaching #41 on Inc 500’s FastestGrowing Private Companies List in 2006.
During his tenure at Speck Products he trained extensively in business scaling, leadership development, and how to create a culture of transformational performance. Raj’s expertise in these areas were at the core of Speck’s success in a highly competitive, Apple accessories market. One of Raj’s biggest claims to fame was reducing the China product lead time from 66 days down to 22 days… which the China team said was impossible. This was a deciding success factor in a time-to-market centric business model.
When Raj left Speck Products he synergized his business scaling and human performance maximizing skills together to form Transformance (transformed performance) Business Consulting in 2008.
Here he developed the Next-Level Your Business 3-Day Offsite and the 90-Day Game Program that support companies like yours in clarifying the path to next-level growth and creating the high-performance culture necessary to get there.
