As a Kansas City native, I am proud to lead a Kansas City-based company that serves organizations around the world,” Morris said in the release.
Most recently, Morris served as the founder and CEO of Morris Strategic, a consulting firm he founded in 2025 to guide corporate, collegiate, and nonprofit clients in leadership development and strategy. Before that, Morris spent over 2 years at Leadercast, where he served as the company’s chief revenue officer and then as the president & managing partner.
