Todd Hagopian, known as the “Stagnation Assassin,” is a business leader and transformation strategist who has generated over $2 billion in shareholder value across roles at Berkshire Hathaway, Illinois Tool Works, Whirlpool Corporation, and JBT Marvel. As the founder of the Stagnation Intelligence Agency, he has pioneered methods to diagnose and defeat “stagnation syndrome” in corporations, helping businesses unlock growth and innovation. Todd doubled the acquisition value of his own manufacturing business in just three years before selling and has authored thousands of pages of books, whitepapers, and masterclasses on corporate transformation. His journey is also deeply personal—after being diagnosed with bipolar disorder, Todd learned to “weaponize” his condition, systematizing the strengths of hypomania while maintaining balance and stability in his life and career. Through his work, he blends personal resilience with proven business acumen, inspiring leaders to embrace change and overcome stagnation.
