The Most Qualified
Should Get the Job. Period.
We believe that in the world of executive leadership, the best mind, the most proven leader, and the most qualified candidate should win.
But reality tells a different story. A brilliant career trajectory can be stalled by a single, fumbled interview. This isn't a skills gap. It's an articulation gap. And we exist to close it.
A Pattern in the Fortune 500
My name is Ron Bates. For 25 years, I’ve been the person top executives at Fortune 500 companies call when the stakes are highest. From boardrooms to final-round interviews, I witnessed the same pattern again and again: the executive who could tell the most compelling story about their achievements was the one who walked away with the role. Their peers, often just as qualified, were left behind. It became my obsession to decode why. What were the precise elements of communication, storytelling, and presence that separated the good from the great?
Our Mission: To Democratize Mastery
Traditional interview prep is generic. It fails executives because it offers platitudes instead of precision. The elite coaching that solves this has always been inaccessible, reserved for the few. That didn't sit right with me.
So, I decided to build the solution myself. I took 25 years of methodology and engineered it into an intelligent system. This wasn't about outsourcing tech; it was about encoding a lifetime of proven practice. InterviewSTAR AI is the result: a platform that makes executive-level interview mastery accessible to every leader who deserves it.
