Coaching leaders for a changing world
At Torch, we believe leadership is about driving change, not just managing it. Our coaching adapts to your world, empowering leaders to tackle today’s challenges—whether navigating AI, strengthening teams, or inspiring innovation. We focus on creating lasting impact from day one, preparing your entire organization for the future.
What Torch is
Torch is the leadership coaching and alignment platform that pairs coaches — many doctoral-qualified psychologists and therapists — with the Spark AI agent and organizational intelligence, translating strategic intent into each company's leadership capacities. Used by Airbnb, Reddit, and Tripadvisor, it helps mid-market and enterprise talent teams drive measurable personal and company-aligned impact.
OUR STORY
We empower a new generation of leaders to evolve as fast as the world around them
Torch isn’t your typical coaching platform. It all started with our founders—two executive coaches with psychology backgrounds—who saw firsthand how coaching ignites change. Today, we carry that belief forward with a bold vision: to not just develop leadership, but to redefine it. And redefining leadership means reimagining coaching.
In a rapidly changing world, we equip leaders to inspire, adapt, and lead with guts and heart. Forget the playbooks of yesterday—our coaching doesn’t polish outdated mindsets; it rewires them.
The result? Leaders who don’t just manage change, but catalyze it.

Frequently asked questions
Torch is the leadership coaching and alignment platform that pairs coaches — many doctoral-qualified psychologists and therapists — with the Spark AI agent and organizational intelligence, translating strategic intent into each company's leadership capacities. Used by Airbnb, Reddit, and Tripadvisor, it helps mid-market and enterprise talent teams drive measurable personal and company-aligned impact.
Most coaching platforms develop generic skills. Torch develops the specific leadership capacities each company's strategy requires — then aligns coaching, AI, and organizational intelligence to that strategic intent. The result is leadership development that delivers personal growth and company-aligned business impact in the same loop.
Each engagement begins with the company's articulated leadership intent — the direction senior leaders want the business to take and the kind of leaders required to deliver it. Torch distills that intent into the specific leadership capacities the organization needs, then anchors a 360° feedback program, expert coaching, and Spark AI support to those capacities. A 360° impact reassessment closes the loop with measurable change on the same instrument.
Spark is Torch's AI coaching agent. It sits in coaching sessions to summarize key moments, supports reflection between sessions, and aggregates anonymized signals across an organization so senior leadership can see systemic culture and people patterns. Spark complements Torch's human coaches; it does not replace them.
Yes. Torch's coach network is credentialed and senior — many coaches are doctoral-qualified psychologists and therapists, and all hold ICF coaching credentials as a baseline. Coaches are selected for fit to each client's leadership capacities and business context, mostly US-based with global coverage for time-zone and native-language matching.
Talent and people teams at mid-market and enterprise companies — including Airbnb, Reddit, Tripadvisor, FICO, Twitch, Zendesk, and CrossCountry Consulting — use Torch to develop leaders from first-time managers to executives.
