Initially, I served as a fractional Chief People Officer, but over time, my role naturally expanded into that of Chief Operations Officer. I am passionate about Imagemakers' purpose—empowering dreamers and doers to shape the future—and I genuinely enjoy collaborating with the entire team.

Also, you run the risk of increased negativity and bad attitudes, along with risks with workplace safety. Burnout isn’t good for employees or their employers.
