About Kahlil Dumas
I’m the Founder of Free The CEO and Co-Founder of Execnow, two platforms built to reshape how people lead. Whether they’re building companies, supporting teams as fractional leaders, or seeking clarity in their next professional chapter, these platforms are designed to support their growth.Over the past 13+ years, I’ve worked at the intersection of product, talent, growth, and operations, scaling early-stage startups and advising Fortune 100 companies. My career began in e-commerce and customer experience, where I led major transformations at Nike and saved the company over $160M through operational improvements and digital innovation. I later led Product and Solution Engineering at Topbox and played a key role in its $50M acquisition by Khoros.At Execnow, I focus on building high-impact teams by connecting VC-backed startups with transformational fractional and full-time talent across engineering, product, operations, and growth. Through Free The CEO, I coach founders and executives to operate with clarity and design businesses that scale without burning out.I’ve been featured in outlets like Business Insider, Yahoo Finance, ABC, and Consumer Affairs. I also host the Free The CEO Podcast, where I interview bold, unconventional leaders who are scaling meaningful companies without sacrificing themselves in the process.When I’m not building, I’m a twin dad.
