We specialize in helping companies and individuals bridge the gaps created by rapid growth, entering new markets, encountering new competition, being in start up phase, and many other critical business and professional life cycle events. We coach and advise teams and individuals to maximize effectiveness. I personally worked with Verde Associates as a client while at RXBAR and the impact was transformational in my own growth and in our success. We specialize in: • Managing organizational evolution • Leadership growth and learning • Building high performing teams • Optimization of organizational design • Culture development and implementation Our diverse team has functional area expertise in many of the key areas where rapidly expanding organizations need additional resources. My personal practice area focus and passion is in leadership development, team coaching and development, and organizational/individual performance maximization. We are hyper focused on finding the right fit for impact vs. using pre-packaged processes.
