Todd Hagopian is a turnaround leader who has created more than $3 billion in shareholder value across five turnarounds in five industries. He is a global vice president at a Fortune 1000 company and the founder and CEO of Stagnation Solutions, Inc. In one turnaround he took a business losing $175 million a year to break-even.
Todd's talks give leaders a plan, not a pep talk. He created 80/20 Squared, which puts 80% of resources on the 4% of initiatives that decide the outcome. He also created the Karelin Method, a focus system named for the undefeated Olympic wrestler that delivers 5.76x output on critical work without breaking the 50-hour ceiling. His Aggression Gap research explains why 70% of transformations fail and how speed, concentration and rule-breaking compound into an edge competitors can't match.
He hosts the Gold Stevie-winning Stagnation Assassin Show. He wrote Stagnation Assassin: The Anti-Consultant Manifesto and 10-Minute Transformation (Koehler Books, February 1, 2027), which turns seven income-statement numbers into a diagnosis and a 90-day plan. His work has been featured in Forbes, the Washington Post, NPR and Fox Business. Todd lives in Solon, Ohio, near Cleveland, and speaks to executive teams, associations and conferences nationwide.

Close the Aggression Gap: The 27x Math of Compound Aggression
Seventy percent of transformations fail because leaders stay moderate. Career risk, organizational antibodies and unfamiliarity hold them there. Todd shows how speed, concentration and rule-breaking multiply into a 3.4x to 27x edge, and how to start closing the gap on Monday.
The Karelin Method: 5.76x Productivity Without Burnout
This is a focus system named for the wrestler who went 13 years without a loss. It combines 20% more focused hours under a hard 50-hour ceiling, 20% more efficiency, and 80% of time on the 20% that matters. It runs through Morning War Rooms, Weekly Kill Lists and 6-week Intensity Sprints.
80/20 Squared: The 4% That Decides Everything
Most companies spread effort evenly across every customer, product and project. Todd shows how to find the 4% of activities that drive 64% of results, put 80% of resources there, and retire the rest without fear.
Stop Backfilling: Rapid Reorg for Leaner, Stronger Teams
Every departure is a chance to redesign, not refill. Leaders learn to stack strengths, give top people 70–80% of their time on 9/10 skills, and replace one role with a multiplier role worth 1.5 FTE.
10-Minute Transformation: Seven Numbers, Five Upgrades, 90 Days
Based on Todd's book (Koehler Books, Feb 1, 2027). Attendees run the ATM Test live, name their business type, and sequence five structural upgrades: Plug the Leaks, Charge What You're Worth, Remove the Cap, Build the Machine, Point Them at Profit.
