Work with claudia

Strategic perspective.

Practical business judgment.

Action that moves your organization forward.


Growth, change, and leadership transitions bring consequential decisions. You need to understand what is getting in the way, where the risks lie, and what it will take to move forward.

I partner with CEOs, boards, and leadership teams to address those challenges through strategic advisory, fractional executive leadership, and purposeful facilitation. Each engagement is shaped around your business priorities, with a clear scope and agreed outcomes.

Services

  • Strategic advisory & organizational effectiveness

    Align your organization with where the business is going.

    Your strategy depends on an organization that can execute it. Structure, decision-making, leadership capability, and accountability all influence whether your priorities become results.

    I help you assess what is working, uncover what is creating friction, and make informed decisions about the changes your business needs. Together, we identify risks, weigh tradeoffs, and develop practical approaches that support performance and growth.

    Engagements may include:

    • Board, CEO, and executive advisory: A trusted analysis and thinking partner for consequential decisions, competing priorities, and complex business challenges.

    • Executive & leadership team coaching: Strengthen strategic judgment, influence, and accountability to turn business priorities into results.

    • Organizational design and restructuring: Align structure, responsibilities, decision authority, and accountability with your strategy.

    • Succession and leadership continuity: Identify critical roles, assess readiness, and prepare for planned or unexpected transitions.

    • People and talent strategy: Determine the capabilities, leadership, and workforce your business needs for its next stage.

    • Acquisition integration and organizational change: Assess organizational risks, clarify leadership responsibilities, and support effective integration and execution.

    • Operational effectiveness & accountability: Identify bottlenecks, clarify decision-making, and strengthen execution of business priorities.

  • Executive Offsites, Workshops & Keynotes

    Create the clarity, alignment, and commitment your next steps require.

    Bringing leaders together is an investment. That time should help them address meaningful issues, make progress on priorities, and leave prepared to act.

    I design and facilitate executive offsites, strategic working sessions, and customized workshops around your objectives and the realities of your organization. I bring structure to complex conversations, surface different perspectives, and help participants work through issues that can be difficult to resolve in the course of everyday business.

    For conferences and broader audiences, my keynotes connect leadership ideas to practical choices participants can make in their own work.

    Engagements may include:

    • Executive and leadership team offsites: Establish direction, clarify priorities, strengthen accountability, and agree on how the team will lead together.

    • Strategic planning and alignment sessions: Examine assumptions, define objectives and strategies, and establish ownership and next steps.

    • Facilitation of consequential conversations: Work through competing perspectives, unresolved issues, or decisions that require an independent facilitator.

    • Customized leadership workshops: Build practical capability in strategic thinking, communication, influence, feedback, and other priorities relevant to your leaders.

    • Keynotes and conference sessions: Engage audiences with candid insights, relevant examples, and actionable perspectives on leadership and organizational effectiveness.

    • Follow-through and implementation support: Reinforce commitments through subsequent working sessions, advisory, or coaching.

  • Fractional & Interim CHRO Leadership

    Experienced executive HR leadership when your business needs it.

    An executive departure, rapid growth, or an underdeveloped HR function can leave important decisions without sufficient leadership. You may need immediate continuity, sustained strategic direction, or experienced support while building your internal capabilities.

    I step in as a member of your leadership team, partnering with the CEO and executives to assess the situation, establish priorities, and lead the work forward.

    My approach connects HR decisions to business needs, with attention to operational realities, organizational risk, and long-term capability.

    Engagements may include:

    • Interim HR leadership: Maintain continuity and guide critical work during a vacancy or executive transition.

    • Fractional CHRO support: Provide ongoing senior leadership when the business needs executive HR expertise on a part-time basis.

    • HR function assessment and stabilization: Evaluate structure, capabilities, processes, and service delivery; address immediate concerns and establish priorities.

    • People strategy and execution: Translate business priorities into a practical roadmap for talent, leadership, organizational structure, and culture.

    • Risk identification and mitigation: Surface workforce and employment-related risks, prioritize corrective steps, and coordinate with legal counsel and other specialists as appropriate.

    • Leadership recruitment and transition: Help define the permanent HR leadership role, support selection, and establish an effective handoff.

    How we can work together: A defined interim assignment or ongoing fractional engagement, with clear responsibilities, decision authority, and priorities.

Where Do We Start?

Bring the challenge & We’ll determine the right approach.

You may know exactly what support you need or recognize that something needs to change.

Our first conversation focuses on your business: what is happening, what is at stake, what you want to accomplish, and where additional perspective or leadership would help.

From there, I recommend an approach and scope that fit your priorities. You work directly with me, with clear expectations about responsibilities, deliverables, and how we will assess progress.
