He has managed teams with thousands of employees spanning 17 countries. He loves working with entrepreneurs to scale their companies while keeping them fun and agile.

Moody loves spending time with his family. He also enjoys riding his bike in the foothills around Boulder and his snowboard in the Rocky Mountains. A huge fan of the Auburn Tigers, he delivered the university’s Spring Commencement Address in 2016. For some reason, he can’t explain, Moody is also learning to play golf and welcomes any invitation to play. In his spare time, he’s known for creating engaging video content via his own vlog, VentureKills.
