/ Case Study /
Emily designed and led an executive assimilation program for a financial services Fortune 500 company to increase success of new-to-role officer appointments. The Fortune 500 organization was experiencing an increase in fail rates for their new officer level appointments which was negatively impacting all aspects of the business: results, revenue, morale, loss of business momentum and more. To date, we successfully assimilated 50 VP and SVP executives. We achieved 100% success rate, where industry standard is 50%, and earned a net promotor score of 9.7 out of 10.

“Each individual leader experienced dramatic professional growth which improved our corporate culture which improved our results. These changes would not have been possible without Emily and her team’s expertise, compassion, intelligence, determination and humor.”
