Über Mae
People, culture, and the power of stories — that’s what drives me. I’m passionate about shaping inclusive, inspiring, and human-centered workplaces where individuals and organizations thrive. With over six years of experience in change management, leadership development, DEI, employee engagement, and strategic communication, I help businesses navigate transformation with empathy and impact.
At EY, I’ve led global cultural development and talent strategies across diverse industries, supporting large-scale transformations and embedding inclusive leadership behaviors into everyday practice. Prior to that, I founded a global nonprofit focused on mental well-being and workplace culture, which reached over 1.5 million people through education, advocacy, and learning programs. I’ve also spoken on international stages, designed leadership training, and authored a book published by HarperCollins — all in the spirit of sparking meaningful change.
Whether partnering with senior leaders, HR teams, or grassroots communities, I bring a people-first approach, blending strategy, storytelling, and creativity to drive lasting results.
Let’s create cultures where people feel seen, supported, and empowered to do their best work!
