In the world of business scaling, few leaders combine operational mastery with environmental stewardship as seamlessly as Landon Morales. A founder, entrepreneur, board member, and trusted advisor to high-growth companies, Morales has built his reputation on transforming ambitious organizations into scalable, sustainable powerhouses — while dedicating equal passion to protecting the planet’s marine ecosystems.
Morales is an expert in business scalability, systems thinking, and strategic execution. His approach is surgical: identify hidden constraints, refine operations, integrate the right technology, and align the right people with the right structures. His goal isn’t just rapid expansion, but long-term organizational multiplication, ensuring companies don’t just grow — they thrive for decades.
As CPO/CSO and Partner at Howdy.com, Morales leads experience, growth, and organizational development, shaping the company’s trajectory in competitive global markets. His influence extends beyond Howdy’s walls — he serves as a trusted advisor and board member for Armbrust, OwnLocal, Neighborhood News Network, and Alan Deep Learning, bringing his scaling expertise to industries ranging from technology to media.
A multi-time founder and growth strategist, Morales has worked with global brands and high-impact startups, giving him a rare blend of operational rigor and creative vision. His career has been defined by the ability to see both the micro-level mechanics of a business and the macro trends shaping its future.
Outside the boardroom, Morales channels his leadership into marine conservation. He founded Marine Conservancy, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to protecting, rehabilitating, and conserving marine ecosystems and species. His advocacy reflects the same strategic mindset he applies to business — building frameworks for sustainable impact, whether in a company’s operations or an ocean’s recovery.
A native of the San Francisco Bay Area and now based in Austin, Texas, Morales balances his professional life with family — his wife, son, and two Australian Shepherds. His story is one of scaling not only organizations, but also impact, proving that the same principles that make companies thrive can be applied to preserving the natural world for generations to come.
