About Angie Emrey

I help leaders and organizations navigate complex change so it lasts. My sweet spot is building the bridge between strategy and people, turning transformation into experiences, programs, and messaging teams can understand, engage with, and act on. My background spans branding, communications, culture and change management, with a focus on rallying the right people, clarity in messaging, and engagement that makes change resonate, stick, and drive results. I thrive in complex environments where clear vision, strong relationships, and thoughtful execution make all the difference. I’ve built a career on relationships - with executives who need their vision to come to life, with influencers who shape culture, and with employees who ultimately make the work succeed. That unique vantage point allows me to design programs and channels that not only explain but help people embrace. Born and raised in Milwaukee, I bring the same energy to my work as I do to life at home: chasing big ideas (and twin girls), staying curious, and finding ways to bring people together for good.Proud Moments- Increased employee satisfaction of Walgreens Tech function gatherings by 18 NPS points in less than a year- Planned and executed two first-ever conferences at Northwestern Mutual - Women in Tech (external for all women in tech) and Revel in Tech (internal for tech teams).
