What's a Galanthus?
A Galanthus is a plant that grows in harsh environment, flowering in near-freezing temperatures and earning it's nickname of "snowdrop."
For my clients, today's landscape presents existential challenges, with shifting roles, technologies, players and expectations. In times of change, it is tempting to stand down or step back. Instead, I help organizations navigate these circumstances effectively, achieving ambitious goals.
In difficult conditions, the Galanthus goes beyond survival— it thrives.
