President
Brad Hays
The long view — faith, work, and a leader who does not have to walk it alone.
Brad Hays is president of The Leadership Exchange and a coach who spent four decades in business before giving that experience away. He sits with leaders from the chief’s office to the front line, through the lenses of faith, life, and work. His purpose is plain: apply God’s transforming word in the workplace.
The acumen was formed at Pennzoil Products Company and AlliedSignal, in a strategic consulting firm, and in three privately funded start-ups. That path led him to found Leaven Exchange, a practice in leadership development and executive coaching, and later to chair and serve the Exchange. He has also served The Gathering of Men Houston, Convene as Houston area chair, the Center for Christianity in Business at Houston Baptist University, and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Southeast Texas.
A fourth-generation Texan, Brad lives the rest of the week with his wife, Eileen, their family — including fourteen grandchildren — and Houston’s Second Baptist Church, where he sings and teaches. At the Exchange he keeps the room rooted: passion to start the work, diligence to keep it.
