About 7Q Collab
In fast-paced, innovation-driven industries, expertise alone isn’t enough. Lasting success demands leaders who can inspire, engage, and execute.
Founded by Ken Quintana, former Chief Learning Officer at the CDC, 7Q Collab partners with organizations across life sciences and public health to turn technical experts into people-first leaders. We address the leadership gap that often sidelines brilliant minds—ensuring promotion means preparation, not derailment.
From Technical Talent to Transformational Leaders
Our Philosophy: People + Performance
We believe leadership is learned. Through mentorship, feedback, and practical development, we help professionals master the art of influence, balance hard and soft skills, and create teams that thrive.
Ken is the Founder and Principal of 7Q Collab. With over 17 years of leadership at the CDC, he brings deep experience in organizational transformation, leadership development, and strategic talent management.
