Ted Santos is a renowned business strategist, executive coach, and the creator of the Disruptive Leadership Model—a groundbreaking methodology that empowers CEOs and senior executives to intentionally create problems that fuel innovation, transform company culture, and drive explosive revenue growth.

For over two decades, Ted has guided CEOs of middle-market companies ($50M–$500M) and rising executives to shatter limitations, scale operations, and dominate markets by turning chaos into opportunity. His counterintuitive approach has earned him a reputation as the “CEO’s Miracle Maker”—helping leaders produce results they once thought were impossible.

But Ted’s expertise isn’t just professional—it’s deeply personal. After losing both parents in a single day at age 21, Ted stepped into the role of caretaker for his younger siblings. Fueled by the lessons of resilience and self-mastery, he developed a mindset for turning disruption into growth, which became the foundation of his work with business leaders today.
