Donna Wise, MBA's Linkedin Analytics

I'm an experienced change leader who brings a people-centric, value-driven heart to my work. I'm well-versed in navigating change from both a strategic and a tactical perspective. My earlier experience as a software developer allows me to bring a unique perspective and understanding of the challenges faced by technical teams. I'm committed to applying principles strategically, focusing on the "why" rather than blindly following processes. By building strong relationships and fostering collaboration, I help organizations achieve their goals and create a positive work environment. I'm passionate about empowering teams to deliver exceptional value to customers while creating a positive and fulfilling work environment. I use my leadership skills, collaborative nature, and experience to bring together diverse people and perspectives so that together we can make progress toward the greater goal. I truly enjoy helping people succeed.
