Bio

Kan helps purpose-driven leaders and organizations realize their visions through cultivating wisdom and effectiveness. He has coached leaders in organizations at various stages of development—from startup founders to C-suite executives at multi-billion dollar companies. He has implemented leadership development programs at several organizations that enabled them to strengthen their culture during periods of massive growth.

In his previous lives, Kan worked as a lawyer for the United Nations and US Federal Courts and as a management consultant for McKinsey & Company, where he consulted Fortune 500 clients across numerous industries with a focus on strategy, organizational health, and leadership development. Kan has spent more than two decades cultivating wisdom practices. He has spent hundreds of days in silent meditation retreat. He designed and facilitated McKinsey’s Inner Wisdom Retreat, which convened C-suite executives from some of the largest organizations in the world to learn about mindful leadership.

Kan’s recent work has focused on organizations that enable psychedelic medicine to heal individuals and communities and to transform collective consciousness. He developed the strategic plan for the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) which is at the forefront of legalizing psychedelic medicine. He has a law degree from Harvard Law School and a master's degree in diplomacy from the Tufts Fletcher School.
