What Mogul does

Mogul is a New York-based, private advisory, executive search, and leadership training firm that serves Fortune 1000 enterprises across twelve or more verticals including biotech, healthcare, technology, financial services, CPG, media, real estate, construction, manufacturing, energy, nonprofit, and staffing. The company operates three interconnected departments on a unified platform: AI & HR Advisory (consulting covering AI readiness assessments, AI policy and governance, people and HR strategy, and AI adoption and change management), Executive Training (six signature leadership programs delivered through a proprietary branded learning management system), and Executive Search (C-suite through director-level retained search powered by proprietary AI matching technology). Mogul claims a 100% placement rate and 66% faster placements than industry average, with a reported 30 days from outreach to offer acceptance, and a 1MM+ leader community that feeds organic demand generation through rankings, profiles, and an annual Mogul Awards program.

The firm is backed by SoftBank and led by founder and CEO Tiffany Pham, with co-founder Matthew Miller as director and a leadership team spanning former Fortune 500 advisory, Ivy League education, and Wall Street backgrounds. Mogul's leadership holds positions in the World Economic Forum AI Governance Alliance and the United Nations AI for Good Initiative, and the company has been recognized as a World Economic Forum Technology Pioneer and a Harvard Business School case study subject. Customer logos include Microsoft, Google, Amazon, IBM, Disney, Nike, Marriott, Hilton, Bristol Myers Squibb, PwC, Bain & Company, Moody's, Robinhood, and MarshMcLennan, among more than 600 Fortune 1000 companies.

Mogul makes money through three streams: retained executive search success fees (one-time per placement), subscription-based leadership training delivered virtually on-demand and live (recurring), and AI & HR advisory consulting engagements (professional services). Pricing is custom and quote-based across all three lines, and the company does not disclose pricing tiers publicly. Distribution runs through direct enterprise field sales, an inside sales motion for mid-market and training inquiries, and the proprietary branded LMS as the delivery channel for the training subscription business.
