Wendy Donaldson CFE

Julie was introduced to me from a previous client to assist in auditing our HR processes and conduct a strategic review and assess the capability and structure of the team. Julie quickly became a trusted advisor; I connected immediately with her style and pragmatic approach and we gained so much more from her involvement in the business that we had originally scoped. Within weeks Julie had reviewed the existing documented policies, processes and procedures that are in place including employment contracts, performance management, employee engagement surveys and facilitated a session to develop the APAC strategic initiatives in line with the company values and founder’s vision. The “plan on a page” as it became affectionately known, became the standard underpinning the 12-18 month plan. Julie additionally brought attention to the risks associated with rapid growth and provided clear recommendations around bench marking, succession planning and team leadership development planning. She was able to clearly identify the priorities, create actionable items and assist in the recruitment strategy for a longer-term solution to manage the people and resources to take the business to the next level in terms of scalability & rapid global growth. Julie has also given much of her time to my personal development over the last two years and helped me to develop the skills and confidence to step outside of my comfort zone and recognize my transferable skills and to discover opportunities for growth and development. She has introduced me to her amazing network of like-minded professionals and continues to be an influence in my professional development and a close personal friend & confidant. I would highly recommend Julie for any engagement that requires a transformation project, managing through capability & stakeholder management, Julie work tirelessly to engage with all levels in the business to get to the core opportunities while acknowledging the elements of the business that are delivering great results.
