During her 16-year tenure at HP, Anne served in several executive positions within the company including assignments leading knowledge management, strategic planning, culture integration (HP/Compaq), manufacturing production, and IT. Since joining Conversant in 2012, her clients have included Lockheed-Martin, The Nature Conservancy, Keeping Forests as Forests (KFAF), CH2M Hill, The Port of Portland, and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.  Anne is a previous trustee with the Millennium Institute and currently on the board of the Northwest Habitat Institute.

In her downtime, you will find Anne enjoying time with her family, enjoying most outdoor activities but especially hiking, camping, riding horses, canoeing, and skiing.

“My primary interest has always been in understanding how seemingly ordinary people come together to create extraordinary results. Something magical happens when we connect to what it means to be human in our organizations, discovering the energy, spirit, and creativity in working together in new and exciting ways.”
