“Capitalising on existing strengths is as important to an effective coaching experience as honestly facing developmental challenges.”

Experience
As a consultant to the nuclear industry and the U.S. Department of Energy, Anne spent years analyzing the management and organizational dynamics within nuclear power plants and utilities. She interviewed and counseled hundreds of industry leaders as part of an effort to address organizational ineffectiveness in training and communication related to emergency situations.
At Columbia University, Anne first managed the move and merger of a large-scale scientific research laboratory from the University of California to Columbia. After completing the integration, Anne was approached to utilize her skills in the university’s central human resources department, where she facilitated the redesign of the department and managed the extensive change management efforts required. As part of the transition, Anne was promoted to director of the university’s faculty and staff services group, responsible for all services directly required by the more than 12,000 employees.
After spending several years as an independent consultant, Columbia management invited Anne to return to assist in establishing a new government-funded international research program involving numerous collaborators worldwide, many with significant gaps in management skills. Anne’s contribution therefore required not only establishing an administrative management structure but also extensive coaching and development of project leaders.
In 2008, Anne relocated with her family to Berlin, Germany
