Julian Chender
Founder + Principal Consultant
Julian became a consultant and coach in order to help work toward a healthier society. His work focuses on facilitating human connection and shaping behavior at scale. In his early years at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Julian’s portfolio included leadership and team development and enterprise strategy, all focused on the agency’s response to the global Ebola crisis. From there, he moved to external consulting, eventually joining Accenture’s Operating Model & Organization Design practice shortly after its acquisition of Kates Kesler.
Over his career, Julian has consulted to purpose-driven organizations across sectors, from the Fortune 10 to nonprofits in education, arts, and public health, from intergovernmental European agencies and New York City public offices. He is a Certified Organization Design Practitioner and an ICF-Certified Coach who holds a master’s degree in Organization Development from American University. In 2020, he received the Emerging Practitioner Award from the Organization Development Network (ODN). He has served on the Board of Trustees of ODN and currently sits on the Board of Advisors for the Organization Design Forum.
Julian leads 11A Collaborative, working with trusted partners as needed.
