Phil Ledgerwood

Phil Ledgerwood

Phil Ledgerwood’s resumé looks like seven other people’s resumés stitched together. He has baked bagels, guarded Clint Black’s town home, cooked for a gourmet food shop, freed stuck college students from elevators, managed printing plates for packaging, and served as a linguist in the Air Force. He taught himself HTML when the Netscape browser was still a thing, and the rest is history.

Phil is a twenty-year veteran of the software development industry in the Kansas City area. If you’re in the Kansas City area, he is two degrees of separation away from any programmer you know and has probably worked for, at, or with your company.

When the agile movement hit town, Phil knew a good thing when he saw it and became an early adopter of first wave agile practices. He has used these practices to ideate, build, and complete software projects ranging from loan forecasting to routing irrigation trucks to managing pharmacies to predictive lead generation to selling teddy bears. When people ask what vertical his company serves, he says, “Yours.”

Phil has incorporated Lean methodologies into software development just like his father used to do in manufacturing. When he partnered with Travis Dietz to start Integrity Inspired Solutions in 2012, they laid the foundation in Lean to make the custom software development enterprise more humane, predictable, and focused on the success of everyone involved.

A regular speaker at developer, Lean, and Agile conferences, Phil has a passion for taking his company’s ways to other companies whether they create software or not. He loves to see them transform from a collection of interactions riddled with disappointments and broken promises to team-oriented relational companies enjoying newfound trust, joy, efficiency, and success. Several companies from all over the world in all different industries contract Phil to help coach them through their own journeys. He also hosts the successful "Agile Bites" podcast.

When he’s not helping project managers learn predictive metrics or helping developers write customer-focused features, he’s enjoying a wide array of highly geeky hobbies including fantasy and sci-fi novels, gaming, and teaching Filipino stick fighting. His main hobby is making the world a better place for everyone who has to share the planet with him, and the engine for that is love.

Alongside running the business, Jaki is also a professional speaker and is invited to attend international conferences and events. Jaki’s sessions are all about teaching information managers how to deliver fun, engaging and informative presentations to their colleagues in their respective businesses. As information managers know, it’s important that everyone in a business understands what information management is, however getting them to listen and comply is undeniably difficult. Jaki’s teaching methods empower information managers to think differently and use psychology along with a combination of styles to get their message across; after all, one size doesn’t fit all.

As well as being an international speaker, Jaki’s creative and inspirational leadership style and proactive approach to information management has led her to mentor others. She is quoted by clients and industry peers who say that “her positive attitude is infectious” and “she is totally human in her approach”.

Jacqueline’s aim in her career is to simplify information management what is unfortunately viewed as a complex and uninteresting topic, into relevant practical and enjoyable solutions which can be understood and implemented by all. The safety and security of information is both key to successful businesses but also a threat to their success if not managed effectively.

Whether in business or in her personal life, Jaki is always mindful of her sustainability efforts. At home she loves to upcycle and breathe new life into preloved furniture and décor. She loves to craft and sew and enjoys gardening and growing fruit and vegetables - no matter how successful the harvest may be .

Per Jacob Solli

Per Jacob Solli

Per Jacob Solli is the founder, president, and CEO of Kokoon Global Inc., which offers ultra-luxury healthcare and wellness. Born in Brønnøysund, Norway, and now residing in Florida, he has spent over thirty years building businesses, training top-level athletes, and setting a standard for leadership through action.

Kokoon began as a vision in 2007. What started as an idea gradually became a reality that far exceeded expectations. Drawing on decades of experience in diverse industries, Jacob transformed Kokoon into a multi-million-dollar company delivering elite-level wellness and medical services that focus on producing tangible results.
His entry into health innovation was driven by personal struggle. In 2000, he was violently attacked with an iron bar, which led to more than a dozen surgeries over the years, the most recent in 2022. When traditional medical treatments failed to cure the following infection, he turned to what he knew best—discipline, sports science, and trusted experts. Training six days a week, he rebuilt his physical strength from the ground up. In 2006–2007, he applied alternative methods to help extend his mother’s life by over 15 years. That experience convinced him there was a better way to care for people, and that conviction became the foundation of Kokoon.

Before founding the company, he spent years coaching high-performance soccer across Europe. Working with elite athletes taught him discipline, focus, and adaptability—qualities central to his leadership style today. Managing different personalities, making decisions under pressure, and uniting teams toward shared goals while meeting individual needs became part of his natural approach to leadership.

Under his guidance, Kokoon Global Inc. is a healthcare provider and a movement. The company is debt-free, cash-rich, and owns 100% of its assets, with no lenders involved. Its mission is clear: bring dignity and results to healthcare. Kokoon’s model blends traditional and advanced medicine with wellness-focused services, delivered by a carefully selected team of experts. Among them are industry veterans in their 70s and 80s, whose decades of experience offer unmatched insight.

Adaptability is one of Jacob’s defining strengths. He has worked closely with some of the world’s leading physicians and industrial advisors for nearly two decades to push Kokoon forward. During the COVID-19 lockdowns in Spain, when most businesses halted operations and uncertainty loomed, he chose a different path—opening new operations and turning risk into opportunity. This ability to pivot has kept Kokoon ahead of the curve.

Trust and integrity are at the core of his leadership. Investors know him as a hands-on, direct leader unafraid of difficult conversations. He has built a close-knit management team that is entirely mission-driven, ensuring that every decision aligns with Kokoon’s broader goals. Over the years, he has faced strong resistance from an industry often slow to change, including smear campaigns, online harassment, and two serious takeover attempts. None succeeded. Supported by his family, legal advisors, and business allies, he used these challenges to strengthen Kokoon’s independence and resilience.

Family is central to Per Jacob’s life. He is the father of two adult children, a daughter and a son in their early 30s, whom he considers his most outstanding achievements. Kokoon is part of the legacy he is building for them. Despite a demanding travel schedule between Norway and the United States, he remains focused on creating a better world for his children and the families Kokoon serves.

Kokoon’s growth is ongoing and ambitious. In May 2025, the company began constructing a primary clinic in the Canary Islands with 23 surgical rooms, setting the stage for larger projects. This development will help finance and accelerate the Miami Medical Resort, an innovative model that combines luxury living with advanced medical care. Plans also include establishing satellite centers in every U.S. and pursuing dual stock exchange listings in Norway and the United States.

What makes Kokoon unique among fast-growing companies is its dedication to staying mission-focused, avoiding corruption or compromise, and operating strictly within cash flow limits.
