Organisational development consultant, facilitator and executive coach, working with leaders on the human side of change.

​

Ola spent over twenty years in corporate life, including senior roles in learning and organisational development for a global retail organisation. She led large-scale transition and renewal through acquisition, restructure and repositioning. There she saw how the right conversation, with the right people at the right time, could move a culture. She also saw what it costs when that conversation doesn't happen.

​

In 2013 she founded New Chapter Consultancy. Since then she has worked across the private, public and third sectors, in the UK, US, Europe and Africa. In Angola, she was lead faculty on a two-year, in-country programme for 250 emerging leaders in an oil and gas company, building commercial, collaborative and community leadership across the organisation. Her work spans leadership development, culture change, transitions, and diversity, inclusion and belonging.

​

Ola trained as a scientist, and she brings a scientist's curiosity to her work with people. She sees organisations as networks of conversations. When the conversations shift, for individuals, groups and the whole system, the culture shifts with them, along with the business and the communities it touches. She asks the questions that open new perspectives, so people reach their own discoveries. Clients describe her as a trusted thinking partner who listens at every level and reads the wider system. Her lightness of touch helps people feel safe enough to go into difficult territory.

​

Ola studied at King's College London and is an accredited coach. She is a founding board member of ODN Europe and works in English.

That's Ola.
