About us

Axialent is derived from the Greek root “axia,” meaning “worth” or “value,” and the suffix “-lent,” evoking “excellent.” This name represents the integration of ethics and economics, embodying integrity and effectiveness.

Founded in 2002 by MIT professor and Conscious Business pioneer Fred Kofman and entrepreneur Andy Freire, and joined from the outset by Richi Gil and Fran Cherny, Axialent recognized the need for a deeper, more ethical approach to leadership and corporate culture. This vision shaped our core mission: to transform organizations into places where people can express their greatness while creating goods and services that improve lives.

As we look to the future, we will continue to explore innovative ways to inspire meaningful change, embracing cutting-edge technologies, and connecting with more organizations worldwide. We are dedicated to staying at the heart of leadership and culture transformation and excited about helping even more businesses thrive, adapt, and flourish in an ever-evolving world.

Our Philosophy

At Axialent, we believe that people are the foundation of every business’s success. By addressing human challenges directly, we help your organization overcome obstacles and achieve exceptional performance.

In today’s rapidly evolving business landscape, executives face unprecedented challenges and opportunities. Emerging technologies like AI are revolutionizing industries, creating both disruptions and innovations. Simultaneously, increasing geopolitical tensions and the need for sustainability are reshaping global business strategies.

Gaining a competitive edge means proactively shaping a future where innovation serves humanity ethically and sustainably. To lead consciously, leaders must reflect on fundamental questions about reality and human existence, allowing these insights to guide their business choices. By embracing conscious leadership, executives can drive ethical decision-making, prioritize employee well-being, foster innovation, ensure long-term sustainability, and uphold the trust and reputation their businesses need to achieve extraordinary results.

Values-based cultures, led by conscious leaders and aligned teams, are the key to improving business performance. These cultures undergird an organization, enabling the execution of its strategy, the achievement of its goals, and the fulfillment of its mission. The power of culture lies in becoming the invisible glue that that binds your team and has the potential to breathe new life into your workforce, triggering higher levels of engagement, productivity and innovation.

We shift mindsets

“If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.” Wayne Dyer

We recognize that sustainable transformation stems from within. Our expertise lies in:

  1. Aligning hearts, minds and hands: We address the emotional (hearts), cognitive (minds) foundations and the values-based behaviors (hands) that shape individual actions and corporate culture, to enable successful execution.
  2. Unlocking Conscious Leadership: While many organizations focus on visible results (“having”) and processes (“doing”), we delve into the often-overlooked “being”—the foundation for true transformation. We help leaders expand their focus beyond strong profits and results to include equally strong interpersonal relationships and personal well-being, making them catalysts for extraordinary and sustainable business result
  3. Bridging the knowing-doing gap: We help leaders develop a high-performing practice that empowers them to address real-life challenges effectively over time.
