Equipping organizations to create successful transformations is a mission for Briana Sharp. As an accomplished consultant, Briana brings over 15 years experience helping companies with their large-scale transformations, including almost 20 mergers & acquisitions.

Prior to establishing her own consulting practice, Briana spent seven years honing her craft at Deloitte Consulting.

Briana has deep experience in strategic communications, and it shows in the clear, concise messaging embedded in her change management approach. She also has led companies through the organization design process; helped newly merged organizations assess existing cultures and developed roadmaps to create the desired future-state cultures; and stand up new departments by working on operating models to identify areas of focus and implement new processes.

Partnering with clients to create tailored solutions that meet their needs and culture while drawing on best practices is a hallmark of how Briana works.

When not helping her clients, she can often be found training for her next half marathon, or planning her next travel adventure. Briana can be reached by email.

"Briana is an amazing team player and always ready to flex and adapt to any situation. The work we partnered on was very dynamic and Briana handled the ambiguity like a pro. She proactively addressed situations, which was helpful based on the pace of the work. Briana also challenged thinking and brought different perspectives to the work through thoughtful questions. I look forward to working with Briana again!"
