Foundational Message
Wavelength is a human assessment and development platform built on personality science, affect regulation, social psychology, and cross-cultural behavioral research. Most systems treat people as psychological profiles. People aren’t. They’re living systems, biological, intellectual, emotional, social, and cultural, and they change depending on context, pressure, and capacity.
Wavelength translates decades of validated science into a single operating system that shows individuals how they’re wired, where they develop, and what shifts under pressure. Then gives organizations the same clarity at the team and culture level. Sixteen scoring families. Not four or five.
The result isn’t a personality label. It’s a living signal, a way to understand what drives behavior, what shifts it, and what to do about it. Not once, but at your command.
Wavelength Team
Charles Hubbard, PhD
President, Wavelength
Charlie Hubbard is a pattern archaeologist. It’s not a metaphor. It’s the method.
His approach to human behavior started where anthropology often does: in the field. Fieldwork in Pohnpei at age 19 revealed something that became foundational to Wavelength: that behavioral traits are universal, but cultures configure them into dramatically different patterns. The work since then has been excavating those patterns, calibrating what they mean, and building systems that make them actionable.
He brings a combination of academic depth and operational credibility that’s difficult to find in the same person. A PhD in cultural anthropology. A CPA. Advanced training in behavior analysis. Twenty-five years advising leaders and organizations through Alexander Key, including serving as the primary financial architect behind a company’s growth from startup to $320M+ in annual revenue.
Most people who understand personality science have never scaled a business. Most people who have scaled a business have never done fieldwork in Micronesia. Charlie has done both, and Wavelength is what happens when those two worlds stop being separate.
Richard Bennion
Founding VP of System Architecture
Richard builds the infrastructure that makes Wavelength run. His background is in large-scale SaaS solutions and enterprise e-commerce platforms, the kind of systems where architectural decisions made early determine whether everything downstream works or breaks. He’s built and scaled platforms on BigCommerce, Next.js, and React, and has deep experience integrating complex systems like ERP and CRM into unified environments. At Wavelength, he’s responsible for translating a sophisticated behavioral architecture into a platform that’s fast, scalable, and built to grow.
Brad Anderson
Founding VP of Information Technology
Brad brings more than 25 years across multiple industries managing business and technical teams, technology infrastructure, and program delivery. His focus areas — ERP, EMR, financial management, and operations systems — mean he’s spent his career in environments where technology has to serve complex human processes, not the other way around. He’s the person who connects people, systems, and ideas into something that actually works together. At Wavelength, that’s exactly what the technology layer requires.
Trenton O’Bannon
Founding VP of AI Systems
Lead AI Systems Engineer
Trenton brings analytical precision and interdisciplinary range to Wavelength’s AI architecture. He holds degrees in Computer Science and Data Science from UC Berkeley, where his work sat at the intersection of machine learning, economics, and complex systems.
His research spans economic policy analysis, biomedical imaging, and topological data analysis, most recently using the Euler Characteristic Transform to quantify symmetry in complex shapes, extracting structure from high-dimensional data. At Wavelength, he’s responsible for the AI systems that power Roger and the assessment engine: backend architecture, retrieval-augmented generation, and the scalable infrastructure that turns complex behavioral data into actionable signal.
He builds the systems that make Wavelength intelligent. Roger’s ability to read a profile and produce something useful comes from the architecture Trenton designs.
