Overview

Cameron Herold is an entrepreneur, executive coach, and speaker best known for helping founders and second-in-command leaders scale companies with clarity. As former COO of 1-800-GOT-JUNK?, he helped grow the company from roughly $2M to $106M, then built a career teaching Vivid Vision planning, culture, and operator excellence.

He founded COO Alliance, a peer network and live-event community for chiefs of staff and COOs inside growth companies.

What they teach

  • Second-in-command leadership and operator peer learning
  • Vivid Vision and strategic clarity for leadership teams
  • Hiring, culture, and meeting systems that scale
  • Private COO Connect intensives for $5M+ companies

Why SUCCESS readers care

Herold’s work is classic SUCCESS entrepreneurship: how operators turn vision into execution without the CEO becoming the bottleneck. COO Connect events are small-room, high-accountability gatherings rather than stadium keynotes.
