I am a consultant, author, and speaker. I am fascinated with the power of human agency. People aspire to regulate their own lives and partici-pate in shaping the world around them. How can we design organi-zations in ways that unlock this creative life force and channel it towards positive organizational objectives? Finding the right answer to this question is my passion. At Emagence, a New York-based consulting boutique, I partner with leaders in performance-focused, values-driven companies to develop human-centered strategies for strengthening ethical performance. I draw on 17 years of experience designing innovative and award-winning solutions in the organizational development, human resources, and ethics space, mostly in global and highly decentralized corporate settings. My work builds on the best available insights in behavioral science and has achieved measurable increases in employee engagement and performance. My alma maters are Harvard University, Science Po Paris, and Freie Universität Berlin. You can find my full résumé on LinkedIn.
