TESTIMONIALS
Anna came to us through a trusted referral and I could not be happier with the results she has delivered. Anna has extraordinary listening skills, takes the measure of a people swiftly and delivers to management and staff a nuanced balance of clear outcomes based direction and compassionate motivational positivity.
Her counsel on the most challenging staff issues is always well considered and something I plan to seek for the rest of my career. She is the best I have worked with in over 30 years and should be top of your list for human advice to a fast changing team or a slower moving team that needs to change.
Matt Macfarlane, CEO of icetana
As a small company we don’t have the need for a full time HR employee. We engaged Anna on a contract basis and we couldn’t be happier with the process and outcomes. We will have no hesitation using, or recommending, Anna’s services in the future.
Stuart Hall and Claire McGregor, Co-CEOs of Appbot
I worked with Anna for 3 years while we helped build up the adolescent VGW into the larger multinational company it now is. What Anna built was hands down the best HR function I have ever had the pleasure to work with. I thank her greatly for all of her guidance and support, she truly was our rock & will be sorely missed.
Rhys Campbell, VP of Engineering at VGW Holdings
Anna is an outstanding HR leader and one of my favourite people. In the journey from HR Manager to VP of People and Culture at VGW, Anna steadied the HR ship through some turbulent waters as we grew from 50 to 500 staff. Anna was (and still is) graciously impactful, caring and professional in all areas of people and culture, from strategic work to one on ones at all levels of the company.
​
Thankfully for icetana and I, Anna’s new business People and Culture Sense are helping us effect a cultural turnaround, the impact of which we witnessed almost instantly. If you get a chance, work with Anna - your team will thank you for it.
Kevin Brown, COO at icetana
I truly valued my time working with Anna and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for HR services. She has the perfect balance for HR as she is experienced, calm, knowledgeable and commercial while at the same time empathetic, caring and personable.
Anna is exactly the type of person you want on your team - a consummate professional with a level of emotional intelligence beyond her years.
Uszula Cichy, Senior Legal Counsel at VGW Holdings
Anna has a unique balance of careful and thorough consideration, coupled with a high bias to action and on point delivery. She is one of the most objective, and balanced HR practitioners I have met, very discrete, incredibly professional, and able to build deep trust with her stakeholders and team members. She joins dots quickly, and can see the big picture when diagnosing problems and developing appropriate and commercially pragmatic solutions.

I reported into Anna, and I highly valued her guidance, insights, and down to earth and genuine leadership style.
