Consulting and Advisory

AI is reshaping work. Teams are becoming more fluid. Where, when, and why people gather keeps shifting. The disparate functions influencing the employee experience rarely sit in the same room, and almost never look at the same data when making decisions about the choices and impact of work.

Someone needs to hold the connections between these moving parts, and most organizations have yet to give anyone that job. I work on this problem, approaching all engagements with curiosity, a change-positive attitude, and systems thinking to identify the root causes of friction.

How I Serve Clients

Work Transformation and Change Leadership

For organizations facing a decision in the grey space between silos: a major workplace investment, an operating model shift driven by AI or hybrid work, or an employee experience overhaul that touches space, technology, and leadership behavior at once.
‍
I help leadership teams make confident decisions, surface misaligned incentives and barriers, and then stay through the harder second phase to build the governance and measurement structures that sustain the change.

Fractional Chief of Work Advisory Role

For organizations that need ongoing, cross-functional stewardship of how work is designed and governed, but have yet to create a dedicated role.

I become a strategic partner to the leaders who own pieces of the work agenda and need someone to facilitate across lines. Regular cadence, direct access, accountability over months.

For product companies, I advise on GTM strategy and engagement to address modern work challenges.

Executive Workshops and "North Star" Visioning

For leadership teams that need to align before they can act.
‍
I facilitate "North Star" workshops, futures thinking, and narrative designs that give executive teams a shared framework and the confidence to commit to a direction. Often the start for a broader advisory relationship.

I also conduct surveys and interviews to proactively identify resistance and accelerate adoption of new strategies.

AI Training and Adoption

For leaders and teams ready to move from AI awareness to fluency in their own workflows.

I map processes and redesign work to capture value from AI, drawing on my IT architecture and human-centric research experience.

For structured up-skilling, I facilitate public and private cohorts for Lead with AI, where participants build practical, personalized, time-saving AI assistants.
