Sarah Touzani — CEO
Hey 👋 I've been where you are. As a COO who scaled a fintech from 4 to 80 people, I kept hitting the same frustrating wall: smart, capable people who somehow weren't delivering results together as a team. The worst part? Everyone looked at the same team and saw different problems. Or no problems at all. By the time issues became obvious, we'd already missed deadlines, lost momentum, or watched good people walk out the door. That's why I built Waggle AI - to give leaders the team visibility I wish I'd had. Our AI joins your meetings and shows you exactly what's happening beneath the surface - the dynamics between people that create hidden friction. What I've learned from working with hundreds of teams: • Most performance issues aren't about individual skill or effort • The real blockers are often invisible in standard feedback channels • Leaders typically discover team problems 6-12 months too late • Small communication patterns have massive impact on results I also write a newsletter called Mind Matters full of insights into how your brain works and how to hack it to achieve peak performance. It's where I share the behavioral science behind high-performing teams. Follow me for daily insights about spotting hidden team dynamics and fixing them before they hurt your growth. Not theory - practical stuff you can use tomorrow. Want to see what might be slowing your team down? Drop me a message.
