Chief People Officer in Residence & Strategic Advisor
Seattle, Washington, United States
I founded Redwine Group Collective on a simple conviction. That is most organizations don't have a strategy deficit, they have a leadership architecture deficit.
When multiple forces hit an organization at the same time, the risk isn't just disruption. It's the collapse of the systems people depend on to lead through it. AI adoption, workforce transformation, and leadership transition are hitting simultaneously. The question rarely asked clearly enough isn't what to do about any one of those things. It's whether the leadership structure, culture, and people systems underneath are strong enough to carry the weight. That gap is where organizations fracture. Closing it is the work I do.
Leadership architecture is the work of diagnosing leadership debt and designing the systems required to move through transformation with clarity and cohesion.
Across thirty years I have been inside the most consequential organizational moments in modern business. The AOL Time Warner merger. The ExxonMobil merger. The Lehman Brothers collapse. Post-crisis reconstruction at Barclays. Culture transformation at Nordstrom as Fortune 250 CHRO, partnering with the Board and executive team on workforce strategy for 65,000 people across a $14B enterprise. The work was never just about people. It was about whether the organization could absorb the weight of the moment and lead through what came next.
Through Redwine Group Collective I work with C-suite executives navigating organizational inflection points, diagnosing leadership debt, designing people systems, and building the adaptive capacity required to lead through sustained uncertainty.
I also serve as Chief People Officer in Residence at livingHR, The Work Agency, a women-owned HR consulting firm whose mission is to humanize work for everyone.
If you are navigating a transformation, a leadership challenge, or an AI strategy that needs a human architecture behind it, I would welcome a conversation.
