Full-stack HR executive ยท CEO partner
Operator across growth, restructuring, and M&A
Anne Walker is a true business partner to CEOs. She's client-focused and easy to work with, equally comfortable setting the strategy and rolling up her sleeves to execute it. She has led the full scope of HR inside public and privately held companies, from large enterprises to small startups, which gives her both big-company insight and small-company practicality. She has been part of growth, restructuring, M&A integrations, and carve-outs, and knows when to move fast and when to slow things down so the people around her can keep pace.
Her experience spans high tech, consumer products, SaaS, and manufacturing, working closely with highly creative and technical teams along the way. As a certified executive coach, she also works directly with executive teams, coaching leaders individually and as a group to help them operate better together. CEOs bring her in because she's insightful and experienced, and because she delivers results without adding unnecessary overhead.
