Together with his team (Bhaumik Patel and Anirudh Kannan), Forster will build a research resource that enables business leaders to scale their companies by better understanding the expertise of their top performers. He will also develop a software tool that dramatically improves the speed and ease of conducting expertise research.

Forster has previously worked closely with the renowned CEO and executive coach Matt Mochary, including as Mochary’s chief of staff. In this role, Forster worked with and built knowledge products for founders and CEOs of some of the United States’ best-known companies. These experiences enabled him to study how experts learn and operate and taught him that much of the world’s most important knowledge is tacitly held.
