VP, TRANSITIONAL DESIGN LEADER (2005 – 2007)With design teams in the global healthcare and hair care business, I facilitated critical leadership and organizational transitions, which can be very difficult for individuals and teams to navigate. I worked to develop team health by coaching and guiding individuals and teams and, ultimately, developing and integrating permanent leaders.
