Co-Founder, Pender & Howe Board Member, Kestria
Most people build businesses. A rare few build ecosystems — where culture, craft, and community become inseparable from the bottom line.
Travis Hann is one of those rare founders. As the creator and visionary behind Pender & Howe, he has spent years helping business leaders sharpen their edge — not by chasing fleeting trends or chasing vanity metrics — but by reimagining how identity, strategy, and narrative fuse into enduring brands. Travis doesn’t just consult; he collaborates, elevating his clients to become distinct voices in crowded markets.
His journey didn’t follow a straight line. Along the way he learned that influence isn’t cultivated through noise, but through clarity of purpose and relentless commitment to real value. Whether working with CEOs seeking authenticity, founders wrestling with growth, or teams struggling to align culture with vision, Travis blends analytical precision with narrative intuition — a combination that feels as rare as it is effective.
The companies he’s built and advised aren’t just successful — they leave something meaningful behind. And in a world that’s obsessed with scale at the expense of soul, Travis Hann reminds us that impact without integrity is just noise in disguise.
This is a conversation about leadership that listens, strategy that feels human, and the courage it takes to build something that lasts.
