Eugene Theodore is a strategist, former photojournalist, and founder of Saga Squared--the only storytelling boutique that bridges strategy and execution through narratives. He routinely advises founders and institutions on growth, trust, and systemic sustainability, through PATHFINDER: a clarity framework for leaders who've recognized that optimization and longevity aren't the same thing. His work examines why modern systems often succeed in ways that guarantee their eventual collapse; not through incompetence, but through structural design.
Over two decades, he's worked across boardrooms, venture-backed startups, NGOs, and global communities, witnessing the same patterns repeat: intelligent people building intelligent systems that fail predictably. Built to Collapse, his debut business novel, synthesizes those patterns into fiction. He writes about power, profit, people, and the architectures we mistake for permanence.
