As Managing Partner, Jeff Tobaben’s mission is to empower companies to make data- driven decisions and execute on corporate strategies that positively impact business outcomes.

Jeff is responsible for Evolve’s strategic direction, the high-level program design, and validation of each project Evolve takes on. The remainder of Jeff’s time is spent consulting directly with organizations to help them leverage their human capital through applied behavioral economics. He devotes his time, expertise and unique approach to architect solutions that drive improved workplace conditions, reduced turnover, employee engagement, strengthened customer relationships, and sustainable financial performance.

His passion for improving employee and customer relationships drove him to start his own company focused on curriculum design, development, and facilitation to support companies in their effort to improve the employee/customer experience. When the company Mr. Tobaben founded was acquired by Gallup Consulting, he joined the Texas office to act as Managing Partner. Gallup charged Jeff with the task of helping the company “operationalize” Employee Engagement and Strengths for their large corporate clients in the automotive, manufacturing, oil and gas, and financial services industries.

Over the past two decades, Jeff has worked on the implementation and successful integration of Employee Engagement initiatives with a diverse collection of Fortune 500 and smaller companies including clients in the Automotive, Manufacturing, Oil and Gas, Technology, Distribution, and Financial Services industries.
