About

The Studio

Welcome to My Studio!

I am an anthropologist, former business school professor, and experienced management consultant with 25 years of global consulting experience. I’ve taught in business schools in the US and UK for over a decade, and more recently I was a founding partner of the workplace strategy consultancy, OpenWork Agency. With OpenWork, I led workplace transformation projects throughout the US and in Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America.

To deliver projects at scale, I partner with a host of other PhD anthropologists who have years of global consulting experience. Per project, we assemble a bespoke team to address specific client needs.

My new book—Executive Anthropology: A Mindset for Human-Centered Leadership— was released in April, 2025.

I am based in Austin, Texas.
