Mani Erfan

Mani Erfan

Mani Erfan is a chemical engineer, international entrepreneur, and industrial executive with more than 33 years of experience in the global catalyst sector. Based in Houston, Texas, he has founded and led companies in catalyst manufacturing, purification, and recycling. He launched a catalyst company from the ground up and expanded it into a global enterprise with cumulative product sales exceeding $700 million before its sale in 2020. He currently serves as the Chief Executive Officer of a catalyst-recycling business generating approximately $8 million in annual revenue.

Erfan was born in Iran in 1966. His father was a commercial pilot who recorded around 38,000 flight hours throughout his career. In 1983, at the age of 17, he moved to the United States and quickly adapted to a new culture and education system. He began his studies in Chemical Engineering at the University of Florida in 1984, completing 157 credit hours in less than four years. He graduated in August 1988 with high honors and a GPA of 3.88.

Erfan began his professional journey in Texas as a Process Engineer, evaluating chemical operations and recommending improvements. In 1990, he joined a Danish catalyst firm as a Sales Engineer responsible for a 26-state region. Within three years, he increased annual sales from $1.4 million to over $6 million and was promoted to Sales Manager, becoming the youngest to hold that role at the time.

In 1993, he became International Sales Manager at a Houston-based catalyst recycling company. Under his leadership, international revenue rose from $1 million to $11 million annually as operations expanded into new global markets. In 2000, he founded a new catalyst company with $50,000 in startup capital, growing it to peak annual sales of $40 million before its $38 million sale in 2020. He also established a consulting and industrial solutions firm that, by 2021, operated in more than 10 countries with annual revenue between $7.5 and $8 million.

Since 1992, he has led ministry efforts across several countries, founding a nonprofit organization, an online Bible college with 4,500 students, and support platforms reaching underserved communities. He has contributed several million dollars to charitable causes, donating $200,000 to $300,000 annually. Mani Erfan continues to lead in both industry and ministry.

Neha Leigh

Neha Leigh

Before I ever encountered Agile, I spent nearly a decade navigating the worlds of Project and Product Management, constantly problem-solving, managing competing priorities, and bumping up against the same frustrating patterns: legacy systems, outdated processes, and organizational cultures resistant to change. It often felt like great work was possible, but buried beneath layers of complexity and inertia.

Then, I discovered Agile, not just as a methodology but as a new way of seeing. Suddenly, what had felt immovable started to shift. Change no longer seemed like an abstract hope; it became accessible, actionable, and human. But that’s when the real work began.

Agile isn't just a set of practices; it's a language, mindset, and way of operating that challenges our deepest assumptions about control, predictability, and progress. Bringing that into organisations often felt like painting with watercolors on iron steel.

To cut through, I began creating visuals and frameworks that made complex concepts simple and abstract ideas tangible. This became a superpower: turning clarity into capability. That’s how The Agile Xpert was born. A platform dedicated to helping coaches and teams move beyond buzzwords to real, resonant transformation.

Today, I work as an enterprise agility coach and leadership consultant, partnering with senior leaders, teams, and organisations ready to rethink what’s possible. Whether I’m coaching executives, facilitating change, or speaking on stage, I bring a deep curiosity, strategic insight, and a passion for making agility not only understood but lived.

My work focuses on:

Agile Coaching: Translating Agile into culture, behaviour, and sustainable practice.

Systems Thinking: Helping organisations see the bigger picture and untangle complexity.

Agile Leadership: Supporting leaders in shifting mindsets, not just metrics.

Visual Facilitation: Using design and storytelling to spark insight and engagement.

Whether you're new to Agile or leading an enterprise-wide transformation, my mission is simple: to help you see clearly, think differently, and lead with confidence in a world of constant change.
