Building Purpose-Led Companies with Courtney Killeen

In this episode of Founders Future, with host Milan Kohut, we’re joined by Courtney Killeen, founder of Compass Rose Consultants. Courtney shares her journey from serving as an executive leader in the nonprofit sector—where she helped scale a youth-focused STEAM organization more than sevenfold—to launching a heart-centered consulting practice designed for founders who think differently. She reflects on how homeschooling her daughter and supporting a successful self-publishing project deepened her passion for neurodivergent-friendly business design and values-led entrepreneurship.
Courtney explains how Compass Rose Consultants supports early-stage founders and small businesses through customized, one-to-one consulting, tiered mentorship, and a collaborative “fractional leadership” model. The conversation explores neurodivergent-inclusive strategy, decision fatigue, sustainable scaling, and why impact matters more than rapid growth. Courtney also opens up about navigating personal setbacks, redefining success, building community-driven ecosystems, and creating a business that supports both meaningful work and a balanced family life.
