Executive Overview

With over two decades of experience as a consultant and researcher, I am a Senior Managing Director at Accenture where I advise senior executives on how to strengthen their business performance through enhanced culture, values, and talent. I help clients across industries and geographies to assess organizational health and lead initiatives to improve it, leveraging data and analytics, best practices, and innovative solutions. I am also an international speaker, author, and thought leader on the future of work and the role of middle managers in driving change and innovation. My book, Power to the Middle, provides actionable insights for leaders to empower and develop their most valuable asset. I regularly share my perspectives and findings at prominent external events, such as Fortune Global Forum, WIRED, and Chatham House. My mission is to help organizations and leaders create positive and lasting impact in a complex and dynamic world.
