Background

About Anne Lessle

I am a global HR professional specializing on organizational change and leadership development in multiple industries, including, automotive, government, and most recently non-profit. By developing my professional career from engineering to executive management, I am able to translate strategic goals into operational results. I am confident in interacting with senior-level leaders to build and gain buy-in for global initiatives. My extended language skills and the experience of having lived and worked in several countries around the world enable me to effectively support global organizations. My goal is to support organizations in recognizing opportunities and possibilities for its employees during organizational transformations. Whether in the private or the public sectors, I focus on cultural change by enabling stakeholders on all levels to understand the past, drive the present, and envision the future. My purpose is the alignment of strategy with operational goals. Recent projects included facilitating start-up and turn-around situations as well as cultural change in a merger. Furthermore, supporting the Talent Development Unit (TDU) at the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) to design career management programmes for country officer and women. Currently I focus on research projects in international management.
