Our Team

95th employee at Yahoo!; Co-founded Yahoo! Messenger. Previously COO at pokercoaching.com. 25 year startup veteran and growth expert. MBA from UC Berkeley.
Skillest was co-founded by Baden Schaff, a leading golf instructor in Australia. He was frustrated by the geographic limitations with traditional golf lessons. Baden also noticed that students who take golf lessons once per month rarely improved. The path to improvement requires frequent feedback and communication with your coach.
