Our Vision
Meet Our CEO
Craig Woll, PhD
Craig Woll completed his undergraduate degree in 1999 and quickly discovered his passion was empowering individuals and organizations to accelerate their growth. This passion led him to a doctoral program where he focused on integrating operational excellence with human performance.
Over the next 18 years, he worked for large corporations like Intel, Capital One, and Amazon. He focused on improving people and organizations by applying technology, data, and expertise.
Over his tenure, he found that small and medium-sized companies often didn’t have access to the resources, insights, and expertise necessary to accelerate growth that enterprise-level organizations did.
Centrae was formed to bring the best practices from top-tier organizations and make them available to everyone.
Since its founding, Craig and his carefully curated team at Centrae have helped accelerate the growth of individuals and companies by applying best practices and focusing on value growth.
