About Hugh

Executive Chairman & Founder of DNA Behavior.

Titan 100 CEO | Behavioral AI Solutions Architect | Behavioral Economics Pioneer

Hugh Massie is a High-Stakes Decision Orchestrator and the leader behind DNA Behavior International. A "Boys Without Fathers" Mentor, Award-Winning Innovator, Devoted Dad, and Keen Golfer.

He works with CEOs, boards, and leadership teams to align their "DNA"—their natural behaviors—with their business goals. The outcome is better strategy, execution, and engagement.

The Beginning

It started with a realization. As a Chartered Accountant in Australia, Hugh saw a pattern: brilliant financial plans failing because of ignored human behavior. He realized that "money problems are actually people problems."

Driven by this insight, he left traditional accounting to pioneer a new field. In 2001, he founded DNA Behavior in Atlanta, building the world's first system to scientifically measure and align human behavior with financial and business performance.
