Aaron Lyles

Aaron multiplies Small Great Venture’s cool factor by 10X. His magnificent visions and insane creativity make us each feel just a little bit more interesting. He strums the guitar, shreds the pow, and dreams up films in his spare time. 

Throughout his two-decade career, Aaron's superpower of creating compelling narratives enabled large organizations, financial institutions, and Fortune 500 companies to reshape their offerings and shift narratives to expand their reach to younger demographics who prioritize purpose in their buying decisions.

This led to the creation of Multiple Mammals, a collective of creatives and behind-the-scenes producers. Now, Aaron applies his award-winning skills to reshape a future worth gifting to future generations. As Founder & CEO of CommonAlly, Aaron’s vision is to fuel a two-sided data marketplace harnessing the power of conversational technologies, cutting-edge media, and storytelling aimed at connecting the right allies with the right organizations while improving data privacy and ownership.

Aaron’s work includes Stackin’, Qualcomm, Google, Plenty, Meati, Stanford University, DICEE, and various clients in the healthcare space. 

Aaron values the practice of listening, empathizing, and collaborating - core principles that guide the culture he is building and the work he produces.  Aaron lives in Connecticut with his wife, daughter, doggo, and snowboard.
