I am an independent consultant and my goal is to help leaders design more effective organizations. I am typically engaged as a project manager or facilitator, and work together with client managers in developing, evaluating, and implementing new designs (or improvements of existing designs). I work across different industry sectors including oil services, retail, telecom, government, etc. Read more about who I work with here.
