Founder & Experience Systems Architect

Operational strategy for high-growth ecosystems · event & program infrastructure

Portland, ORbrian@sandbox-xm.comLinkedInbrianbmorgan.com

I design and operate high-stakes programs for ambitious organizations and communities. Across 15+ years leading complex corporate programs, I’ve translated abstract business goals into structured plans, aligned cross-functional stakeholders, and built execution systems that let teams move with precision. As a founder, I’m now building operational infrastructure that integrates technology with experiential design, brand intelligence, and go-to-market — most energized at the intersection of ecosystem strategy, systems thinking, and the psychology of ambitious builders.
