Executive Anthropology (EA) is a leadership training and advisory agency founded by anthropologists. Anthropology is unique among the social sciences in that it is holistic and understands the full range of contexts beyond the individual—human evolution, culture, customer experience, strategic navigation, and employee experience.
Because of this, we have for years been at the cutting edge of helping businesses identify and act on innovation opportunities. Our assessments, programs, and advisory services help leaders develop an anthropological perspective that expands cultural intelligence (CQ) and drives innovation.
We’ll help you put organic innovation at the heart of your leadership development process.

The Collective
PhD Social Scientists
We are a collective of like-minded business anthropologists, each of whom has years of experience working with senior business leaders. Some of us hail from innovation strategy, others from corporate culture consulting, others from product and service design.
Books & Research
Most of the members of the collective are active researchers who publish articles, reports and books on core topics in corporate anthropology. Check back here soon as we begin to post and share our recent publications. Our most recent book, Executive Anthropology, will be out in April 2025.
Podcast
Beginning in late Spring 2025, we will launch the EA Podcast. The podcast will be a forum where myself (Drew Jones, EA founder) and others will host long-form conversations with anthropologists, strategists, consultants, and business leaders on topics germane to culture, innovation, leadership, and strategy.
