Who I Am
My name is Leif Masrud. I’m an organizational strategist, nonprofit leader, and systems thinker with a background in engineering and organizational design. For over a decade I have led a nonprofit that has sustained double-digit growth every year and evolved from a small neighborhood organization to a powerful force for good in our city. This project is my attempt to codify and share the insights I’ve gathered, and to invite others into that conversation.
Join My Substack
Essays, marginalia, and reflections on recursive systems, post-ideological leadership, practical philosophy, and the lived tension between clarity and contradiction. Some posts will be rigorous. Others are strange, playful, or quietly philosophical.
Work With Me
I offer workshops, executive coaching, and keynote talks.
My Current Loop
I'm writing weekly for Ecological Ethics, exploring ethical action in paradox, uncertainty, and real life.
I'm working on my first manuscript - a nonfiction book braiding mathematics, physics, and philosophy.
I'm leading my nonprofit through a season of transition, including the conclusion of my own term as President.
I'm building out tools to help executive leaders move into ethical action inside uncertainty and ambiguity.
