Shaping organizations that people want to belong to.
Come to our first meeting with a problem and I'll show you how I work.
I’m Gwen…
the clear thinking, straight talking partner that founders and executives call when people issues are holding back progress.
I bring 25 years of HR and organizational leadership with global companies such as WarnerBrothers Discovery and the National Basketball Association, where I focused on international expansion and organizational transformation.
I hold certifications in Global Human Resources Professional (GPHR), Prosci Change Management, and the Financial Times Board of Directors. I am also an IECL certified coach.
How I can help you:
I help leadership teams evolve through change - without losing their best people (or their minds). I work with executives who are facing:
People dynamics slowing down execution
Leadership bandwidth drained by team and talent challenges
Managers who lack the confidence or skill to lead
An organizational structure that is stuck in the past
HR capabilities they have outgrown - or that were never built
Together, we create:
A clear organizational structure, the right roles and accountability
Managers who lead with confidence and communicate effectively
HR practices that support your strategy, not slow it down
A culture where employees feel valued and invested
