Project & Change Leadership backed by Organizational & Design Anthropology

Alongside my project and change management professional training and experience, I am an applied anthropologist. I apply a keen eye and disciplined and actionable research to all of my engagements. My “field sites” include corporate offices, executive teams, community networks, and project teams. My understanding of socio-culture and system dynamics help to enable teams and communities to thrive and transform.

  • An evidence based approach to organizational culture and change.
