Turn your aspirations into reality
I partner with leaders to scale their organizations by strengthening team dynamics and culture. What I love most is helping teams untangle what’s holding them back—getting to the root of the friction so they can move forward with clarity and confidence. I know people want to be successful, and I believe it’s a leader’s job to help them get unstuck. At Amazon and Starbucks, I built, developed, and led high-performing teams to expand operations, drive innovation, and deliver sustainable growth. My clients benefit from my deep experience—giving them a jump start in building trust, aligning their teams, and leading with intention. When leadership values and a systems mindset come together, teams don’t just adapt—they thrive.

About Me
I have a passion for building high-performing teams and delivering exceptional results. With over two decades of experience in retail, coffee, and technology, I've honed my skills in organizational effectiveness focused on culture, strategy, operations, change management, and team development.
My journey began in a family-owned business, where I discovered my love for taking care of people and creating a positive work environment. This passion has driven me throughout my career, from a variety of leadership roles at Starbucks to launching a new concept called Amazon Go. Now, I'm eager to leverage my expertise to help organizations and businesses achieve their full potential.
By combining my strategic mindset and deep understanding of organizational culture, I help leaders navigate challenges and build success.
“What I appreciate about RaNae is that she asks great questions that lift you out of the trees so you can see the forest. Her strategic insights and practical recommendations make her a consultant and mentor of exceptional caliber.”
Client Testimonials
Avery Davison, Chief of Staff at PEAK PROJECTS LLC
"We worked with RaNae for our company's annual Fall offsite. She played a crucial role and helped us pull together content and facilitated the entire session. With just four weeks to prepare, she was able to take all of our ideas and bring them together in a cohesive, organized way, ensuring everything came together perfectly.
Throughout the process, RaNae kept us on track and helped us stay focused, despite the tight timeline. On the day of the offsite, she was an exceptional facilitator, moderating our guest panel segment with skill and confidence that truly elevated the experience for our team.
The feedback from our employees was overwhelmingly positive—they’ve said this was our best offsite yet, and we can attribute much of that success to RaNae's contributions. She was incredibly easy to work with, always responsive, and had a huge impact on making the event not only successful but truly memorable. We’re extremely grateful for her expertise and support and look forward to collaborating with her again in the future!”
Christine McHugh, Founder at Christine McHugh Consulting and Interim Leader at Private Executive Office
“I hired RaNae to design and facilitate a retreat for my new team. I stepped in as their interim leader during a time of major transition and knew that the retreat would be a critical level setting opportunity as well as a time for connection and creating a shared vision. Out of the gate, RaNae was creative, a great listener and easy to work with. She honed in on my objectives to bring clarity to my desired outcomes and designed an experience that was fun as well as results oriented. Feedback from my team was that she did a fantastic job flexing but also keeping us on track to our objectives.
I also valued her advice and coaching me as a leader through this process in terms of what behaviors she was seeing from the team and how I showed up. I consider RaNae a valued business partner and would definitely hire her again!”
