Founder & Principal @Olivia Hwang Strategies

Milwaukee, WI, US

I advise CEOs, boards, and senior leaders through high-stakes moments — when reputation, enterprise value, and trust are on the line. My work goes beyond messaging to connect strategy and operations, ensuring that decisions translate into measurable outcomes.Olivia Hwang Strategies is built for the rooms where discretion, judgment, and strategic depth matter most. I partner directly with leadership teams to anticipate risk, shape stakeholder perception, and design the structures that make strategy executable — from decision frameworks and governance models to cross-functional operating plans and accountability systems.Advisory focus includes:Executive & Board Counsel: Confidential, governance-level strategy and communication at inflection points.Issues & Risk Strategy: Readiness, scenario planning, and proactive approaches that prevent crises before they escalate.Strategic Operations: Aligning strategy and execution through decision frameworks, operating models, change management plans, and measurable KPIs.Narrative & Stakeholder Strategy: Messaging and positioning that build trust with investors, regulators, employees, and the public.I partner with a limited number of organizations each year — those preparing for or navigating moments that will define their future.
