Charlie Kim, established Next Jump in his college dorm room in 1994, and led the company from the brink of the dot-com bust to become a $2 billion technology giant. Next Jump has two businesses: PerksAtWork.com, an innovative platform that revolutionizes employee benefits and perks which is used by the majority of the Fortune 1000 plus 10s of thousands of small and medium size businesses; NextJump.com, Next Jump’s leadership and decision making business. The second business originated from a social movement to share their own practices in adult development. Over the course of two decades, they ended up helping 10K+ companies across almost every industry and became a point of access to the largest “in practice” hub of challenges and insights at a global level. In 2016, Charlie’s leadership guided Next Jump to be recognized by Harvard as the future of work, which in their research is the company that trains and develops their employees better than anyone. They called these organizations: Deliberately Developmental Organizations (DDOs), recognizing Next Jump as 1 of 2 companies in the world, published in a book titled “An Everyone Culture”. In 2018, Next Jump commercialized their second business signing the U.S. Navy as their first client, focusing on technology and coaching modules designed to measure and enhance individuals' and teams' decision-making abilities — the most critical skill for the 21st-century workplace. Charlie’s philosophy, Better Me + Better You = Better Us, underpins the core principle of valuing and developing human capital. This unique blend of leadership and hands-on experience makes Charlie a highly sought-after speaker across various industries.
