Our People

Guiding Conscious Leadership Across the Built and Creative World

Partnering with visionary leaders to cultivate thriving teams, inclusive cultures and meaningful organizational change

At Evolve, we partner with leaders and teams in the creative and built environments to foster inclusive, emotionally intelligent cultures — and to shape organizations where people thrive and meaningful work can flourish.

Our global team brings together experienced coaches, facilitators and consultants with deep roots in design, innovation, human development and systems thinking — guided by an advisory board and managing partners. We support leaders at every level — from studio directors to executive teams — in navigating complexity, strengthening culture and leading with greater presence, integrity and impact.

A Collective of Experts Aligned Around Purpose

At the heart of Evolve is a multidisciplinary network of leadership coaches, strategists and facilitators who believe leadership is a way of being — not just a role or title.

All of our coaches are certified Integral Coaches®, selected for their developmental rigor, coaching presence, and alignment with our values. With backgrounds spanning architecture, design, urban planning, entrepreneurship and organizational change, they bring lived experience and strategic insight to support lasting transformation.

Many of our team members have worked internationally and across sectors, offering rich cross-cultural understanding and awareness of how identity, systems and leadership intersect in the workplace.

As a learning collective, we regularly come together to share practices, deepen our craft, and co-create strategies that help our clients move forward with clarity and resilience.

What We Bring

  • Deep Coaching Expertise grounded in Integral theory, adult development and conscious leadership

  • Real-World Experience in creative and built environment sectors — including architecture, design and innovation

  • Collaborative Rigor through shared learning, casework and a commitment to collective excellence

  • Inclusive Perspectives from a globally diverse team rooted in human-centered and systems-aware approaches

We’re proud to introduce the people who shape Evolve — including our managing partners, trusted advisory board and global network of coaches, facilitators and consultants. Each brings a unique perspective, a shared commitment to conscious leadership and a deep belief in the power of human-centered change.
