ABOUT ELIZABETH BETSY TUOHEY
I help founders and leadership teams navigate the inflection points that come with growth. My work focuses on Alignment —>, and that work together to help organizations scale with clarity and confidence.Why? I’ve always been drawn to those moments when things get messy—when what used to work… suddenly doesn’t. is the lever I return to again and again. The behaviors that drive your Alignment. Get culture right, and, start to click into place.So how do startups and scale-ups to translate vision into pragmatic outcomes?Here\'s what that might look like (and what I bring to the table). • We help you align, reset or evolve strategy and brand when markets shift. • We accelerate your efforts to build an aligned leadership culture that can handle the pressures of growth. • We partner to design employee experiences & operating models that scale without adding chaos. • We guide you to adopt technology responsibly, with trust and governance in mind. My path has been anything but linear—by design. I’ve led two early-stage companies as CHRO, founded, my first consulting firm and one that successfully operated for over a decade helping organizations articulate and live their cultures, and later, my second. I am grateful for the more than 20 years of transformative work with \', strategic work with Mercy University\'s MBA program, and with, a global biotech and software leader, working at the intersection of strategy, innovation, and talent. Along the way, I’ve worked with leadership teams navigating funding milestones, pivots, rapid hiring, and digital transformation—all the messy, high-stakes moments that shape a company’s future. As Maine’s tech and innovation ecosystem grows, I’m passionate about helping emerging companies scale intentionally—blending strategic clarity with strong leadership and culture.If you’re scaling, modernizing, or navigating change, let’s talk. I\'m a vetted and approved MERC Consultant (Maine Technology Institute\'s consulting pool), which helps with funding.
