About Anne Speed

I\'m a collaborative and accomplished Human Resources executive with extensive experience in strategic change management, organizational development, establishing respectful cultures, and operational excellence. I help organizations that need outplacement programs which respect both their business and their employee needs. I enjoy creating successful HR solutions across different industries including energy, health care, high-tech, and financial services. My professional expertise includes executive coaching, building collaborative and lasting relationships and establishing rapport with individuals at all organizational levels. My reputation is that of a strategic thought partner who is objective, creative, and results-oriented with a passion for improving and building upon organizational strengths. I am known as being a good listener to senior HR Leaders that reach out to me for advice based on my years of experience. I thrive on providing feedback on organizational issues that they are currently facing; to reinforce their current thinking or provide additional options that they have not yet considered.
