Neil McLean

Founding Partner and Visionary

Neil McLean sits in the Visionary seat for TNM JR. (dba Sagacious Partners). He began his career as a high school football coach and that’s where he discovered his passion for bringing out the best performance in teams. Leadership team building has been a continuous theme for Neil, serving as a U.S. Air Force Officer, as a partner of an internet startup that he grew from 8-45 employees, and again in 2001 when he formed his current company.

 

Neil is the first Expert EOS Implementer™ in S.C. and has worked with more than 90 CEOs and leadership teams helping them gain traction and breakthrough results in their businesses. He has led over 850 EOS sessions. 

Neil received his BS-Engineering and MBA from the University of South Carolina and participated in executive education programs at Wharton and Harvard Business Schools. He lives on a pond just outside of Columbia in Blythewood, S.C. with his wife Deb. Children Veronica and Thomas are off to grad school and careers but still maintain bedrooms in the home.

Kristin Hamilton sits in the marketing seat and is part of Neil’s leadership team. She joined Neil’s team in 2013 and leads its marketing and communications efforts through her agency, Grip Marketing, which she runs from her home in the Upstate of South Carolina. She graduated from the University of Florida Summa Cum Laude with a B.S. in Advertising in 2006, and a Master’s in Advertising in 2009. 

When she’s not devising social media plans or designing new collateral, Kristin spends her time chauffeuring her children to activities, working on house projects, and volunteering through various community and church initiatives. She and her husband stay busy with their three children and golden retriever.
