Founder & CEO, Canopy
Claire Lew is the Founder & CEO of Canopy, where thoughtful leaders go to feel supported and grow amidst fast-moving environments. Over the past decade, Canopy has upskilled more than 50,000 managers at leading companies like Amazon, Netflix, and Shopify through live sessions, tailored programs, and innovative leadership tools.
Claire’s mission is simple: To help people be happier at work. She believes that better leaders have an outsized impact on the quality of people’s lives – and has dedicated her career to helping them create work environments where people can do their best work. Her first client was 37signals, the creators of Basecamp, over a decade ago, and she went on to spin off a product originally developed in-house by 37signals into a tool that’s now part of Canopy’s broader platform. Since then, she has distilled over 50 years of research into elegant, actionable frameworks that simplify complexity – enabling leaders to immediately take ownership of their most pressing challenges.
Claire has personally coached leaders at Apple, Uber, and other notable organizations, guiding them through thorny situations with clarity and compassion. She frequently delivers keynotes and leadership trainings globally, and her insights and articles have appeared in Harvard Business Review, CNBC, Inc., and Fortune, among others. Additionally, Claire previously served as an adjunct professor of entrepreneurship at her alma mater, Northwestern University.
