Hi, I'm Lia!
With a decade of experience working in team operations in the corporate world, working in some of the most influential companies across tech and finance including Google, Microsoft, Apple, and Bank of America - I’ve seen what it takes to create high performing teams, and what gets in the way.
As the workplace continues to change at a rapid pace, a new generation enters the workforce, we face a looming recession, and we navigate hybrid and distributed work, you might be wondering, “how do I setup my team for lasting success?"
That’s where I come in.
