      Steven MacGregor: Global Authority on Executive Health, Sustained Performance, and Strategic Wellbeing

      Core Intelligence Domain: Leadership & Executive Health
      Location: Barcelona, Spain | Languages: English, Spanish
      Representation: Represented globally by PSpeakers Global Intelligence

      Steven MacGregor is a globally recognised authority on executive health, wellbeing, and sustainable high performance, trusted by the world’s leading organisations to optimise their C-Suite leaders. As the founder of The Leadership Academy of Barcelona (LAB) and a pioneer of the “Chief Wellbeing Officer” movement, he equips modern executives with proprietary frameworks that merge design thinking, behavioural science, and strategic foresight. His revolutionary approach ensures that top-tier executives can sustain peak cognitive and physical performance, drive organisational resilience, and foster a profound culture of wellbeing in high-stakes, fast-paced environments.

      Pioneering Executive Health and Design Thinking

      With an academic foundation rooted in engineering and a PhD in Design Management from the University of Strathclyde, Steven has seamlessly integrated the principles of design thinking into human performance. His early research tenures at Stanford University and Carnegie Mellon University laid the groundwork for his globally acclaimed methodology, Sustaining Executive Performance (SEP). Over the past two decades, he has trained over 20,000 executives worldwide, demonstrating how the conscious design of daily routines directly correlates to business success, leadership longevity, and enterprise value.

      He is a highly sought-after educator, holding prominent affiliations with world-class institutions including IESE Business School, CEIBS in Shanghai, and IMD in Lausanne. Additionally, he serves as an Honorary Professor at the Glasgow School of Art, bringing a unique, multidisciplinary perspective to traditional executive education.

      Major Achievements and Corporate Impact

      Steven’s influence extends far beyond the lecture hall. He serves as a strategic advisor and keynote speaker for global titans such as McKinsey & Company, Salesforce, Santander, Oracle, and Telefónica, helping them navigate the complexities of executive burnout, remote work paradigms, and holistic leadership.

      He is the prolific author of several seminal texts on leadership and wellbeing. His flagship book, Sustaining Executive Performance, revolutionised how leaders approach their daily habits. He followed this with the critically acclaimed Chief Wellbeing Officer and The Daily Reset. His literary contributions serve as operational manuals for contemporary leaders striving to balance demanding corporate mandates with optimal physical and mental health.

      • “Steven introduced "Sustainable Executive Performance" into a training my company held with IESE. The feedback from the participants was "The most neglected success factor for Managers which was put on the table and was a great combination and highly recommended" I myself experienced it first hand and I think all companies should introduce this important message about life & work and the healthy balance that is needed to sustain us. Great Job Steven - thank you very much (and I am committing myself to a more healthy, balanced life style!)"

      • “Steve's work on innovation processes is very innovative... We were all realising that task based and information flow influenced processes did not crack the nut. The kernel of a great process is to look at the social interactions that lead to new knowledge. Steve helped us move forward on the social processes that underpin truly great innovation... in a nutshell Steve helped us better prepare ideas to present to decision makers without diluting the insights that led to the idea in the first place!”
