About Nina
Nina leads the people and change practice at NorthPeak. She makes strategy stick with the teams who have to run it — through organisation design, leadership, and change that people actually get behind.
She's the partner clients bring in when the plan is sound but the organisation isn't ready, and knows that most transformations succeed or fail on the human side.

Explore Strategy ConsultingHow Nina works
Nina designs change with people, not at them. She engages the teams who'll live with the new model early, so adoption is built in rather than bolted on.
She's practical about culture — turning a vague ambition into concrete behaviours, incentives and decisions that reinforce the direction you've set.
