Remodeling performance, system, and culture breakdowns
I work with organizations to identify and fix the structural and leadership breakdowns that slow execution.
REALITY
On paper, everything looks right.
The strategy is clear.
The talent is strong.
The goals are defined.
And still—performance isn’t moving the way it should.
Decisions take too long.
Work gets revisited.
Priorities compete instead of align.
Accountability feels… unclear.
So the response becomes:
More meetings.
More process.
More pressure.
And still—nothing changes.
WHAT’S ACTUALLY HAPPENING
Most organizations don’t have a people problem.
They have a misalignment problem.
Between:
- What the business says matters
- How the organization is structured to operate
- What leaders and teams are actually doing
When strategy, structure, and people are not aligned execution slows, even when effort is high.
WHERE I STEP IN
- Transformation isn’t landing
- Growth is creating strain
- Decision-making is inconsistent
- Leadership alignment is surface-level
- High performers are disengaging
This is where credibility starts to break and goals fail.
HOW I MAKE A DIFFERENCE
I work at the intersection of:
Strategy
What actually matters now.
What gets prioritized.
What success really looks like.
Structure
Decision rights.
Operating model.
Workflow and accountability.
People
Leadership alignment.
Manager capability.
Behavior and expectations.
I have the EXECUTIVE EXPERIENCE creating and executing strategy from the board room through the front-line.
If your organization is working harder than it should to get results, start NOW!
who I work with
Organizations that are serious about growing their leaders, systems and culture through proven HR inclusive leadership and culture development practices along with streamlined systems.
They want the benefits of a strategic perspective and an execution mindset.
I see broad vision and what other niche consultants can’t.
authority
30+ years inside complex organizations.
Operations. HR. Transformation. Executive leadership.

MY APPROACH TO LEADERSHIP
𝗠𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗳𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿.
𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗳𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆, 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗯𝗲𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗲𝗱.
I have spent more than three decades inside complex healthcare organizations watching the same pattern repeat.
Strategy evolves.
Technology accelerates.
But structure and leadership behavior do not move with it.
That gap is where execution breaks.
That is also where I work.

Through advisory, interim, and fractional leadership engagements, I help organizations align strategy, operating structure, and leadership behavior so transformation translates into execution.
My background spans both operations and human capital leadership, a combination that allows me to see organizational dynamics others often miss.
I do not just focus on what the strategy says.
I focus on what the organization is actually built to do.
Because what gets measured gets moved, and what leaders tolerate becomes culture.

If your strategy looks good on paper but is not showing up in execution, we should talk.

PEOPLE I’VE WORKED WITH
JOSEPH SWEDISH, FORMER CEO ANTHEM, INC.
Tracy was the leader I chose to work alongside me guiding a national corporation to achieve D&I expectations. During our time together, I admired Tracy as an expert and thought leader in diversity, equity, and inclusion.
She’s authentic, passionate, committed and totally dedicated in her belief in her work as a change agent.
Her honest style and approachability position her as a great partner for executives and leaders who are serious about driving change. Tracy’s advice and consultation to me, the board, and leadership made our organization better in every dimension.
BRADLEY SOTO, FURTUNE 20 HEALTHCARE EXECUTIVE
Tracy’s approach to complex human capital issues in the area of inclusion, her business savvy and honest counsel (including challenging the status quo for the right reasons) allow for the organizations that she works in to obtain the highest possible return on their most valuable investment – their people.
CRAIG SAMITT, PRESIDENT & CEO, BCBSMN & STELLA
I had the pleasure of working with Tracy in her role as Chief Diversity Officer at Anthem. She drove significant progress advancing Anthem’s DEI strategy, and I found her tenacious, experienced, and persuasive in framing out the imperative for change and assuring progress was made in achieving DEI goals. Tracy was a driven executive, a collaborative partner, and an influential presenter with colleagues, the executive leadership team, and the Board of Directors. I’d recommend her strongly as DEI leader, advisor, and consultant.
