About Sagatica
We mint Conscious Leaders who build intentional cultures that enrich business and the world.
Measure, Manage, Scale
At Sagatica, we've been minting conscious leaders for a couple of decades. Most of today’s executive leadership development solutions are outdated or incomplete. One-on-one coaching is essential, but insufficient. Business strategy without culture breaks. Culture without business strategy drifts.
At the core of our approach is a simple yet radical and proven proposition: that when you cultivate the human spirit, you elevate business results.

Take our Conscious Operating System™ (COS) Assessment and talk to a Sagatica coach in a complimentary session.
We look at two key areas: your conscious leadership strengths and something we call Ego-Myopia™ — the blind spots where ego gets in the way of good leadership.

Why Us?
Sagatica is the convergence of two paths. Eric Kaufmann has long championed the power of integrating spirit and performance – helping leaders discover deeper purpose and lasting presence. Rick Jung has built and led five venture- and private equity-backed companies to successful exits, bringing unmatched precision, systems thinking, strategy, and financial fluency.
Together, Sagatica has evolved and we’ve created something beyond your average executive coaching program. Our work is personal and systemic, relational and results-driven. We coach. We consult. We architect evolution. And with our software platform, COS™, we’re making Conscious Leadership scalable, measurable, and holistic.
We’re not just here to coach leaders.
We’re here to bring unprecedented change by Minting Conscious Leaders at scale – and set them free to shape the world.
Eric Kaufmann
Eric Kaufmann has spent two plus decades discovering why brilliant executives hit invisible walls – and it’s rarely about
strategy, skill, or market conditions. The real barrier is what he calls Ego-Myopia™: the inability to see and regulate one’s ego in real time. This is what keeps leaders trapped in their own limitations. When executives break free from this pattern, they don’t just perform better – they transform how they think, decide, and relate.
As Chairman of the Board at Dr. Bronner’s and executive coach to leaders at companies like Verizon, Facebook, SunPower, and Circle, Eric has guided hundreds of executives through the shift from ego-driven leadership to conscious impact. His approach blends business rigor with psychological insight and presence-based practice, helping leaders accelerate decision-making, build resilient teams, and scale results across their organizations. A Thought Leader at Harvard’s Institute of Coaching and TEDx speaker, he’s the author of two acclaimed books: Leadership Breakdown and The Four Virtues of a Leader.
Eric’s work is grounded in an uncommon combination of executive experience and four decades of Zen training – including a year-long solo retreat in a mountain cabin he built himself. His unique foundation allows him to see leadership breakdowns not as failures, but as invitations to a higher level of effectiveness. From his journey across Israel and South Africa to the C-suite, Eric brings a perspective that’s as practical as it is profound.
Today, as Sagatica evolves to meet the growing demand for conscious leadership development, Eric continues expanding the frameworks and programs that help executives lead with wisdom, love, and innate power – creating impact that extends far beyond quarterly results.
Rick Jung
Rick Jung is a chairman, independent director, CEO, and coach known for helping investors and executives identify their
strengths, align on vision, and achieve meaningful business and personal goals. Rather than leading from above, Rick leads from within—fostering honest, supportive environments that motivate teams and drive performance.
With over 35 years of experience, Rick has held leadership and board roles in early and late stage venture, private equity, and public companies in the high-tech, service, and healthcare industries. Some of these companies include CoreVitals (now Thermo Fisher Scientific), Clinicient (now WebPT), eTannahealth, and US Healthcare (now CVS). Each organization successfully scaled under his leadership, achieving strong exits and generating over $20 billion in shareholder value. From early-stage startups to PE-backed growth companies, his approach is consistent: set teams up to win and align every leader with the tools and vision to maximize their impact.
What sets Rick apart is not just his track record but how he gets there. He identifies the core problem and vision, develops scalable solutions and business models, and builds unified, purpose-driven cultures that deliver lasting results. He has a gift for turning around struggling organizations, even those lacking shared language or frameworks, by building from the ground up.
Now as Managing Director at Sagatica, Rick channels his expertise into a greater mission: developing 10,000 conscious leaders. With Sagatica’s proven systems, he helps leaders grow companies, empower teams, and create shareholder value, while staying rooted in purpose and integrity. For Rick, leadership isn’t just about performance; it’s about shaping a future we can all be proud of.
Real Leaders. Real Shifts. Real Impact.
“As a result of working together with the Sagatica team and experiencing the LEP, we were able to announce the highest share price in NTH’s history. We were able to achieve a nearly 21% growth in our share price from 2023 to 2024 … and the effect of that was that our employee owners saw an immediate increase of 20% in their ESOP accounts.” – Jeff Jaros, CEO, NTH Consultants
