Alison Gretz
Leadership Coach & Facilitator, ACC
Hi! I’m Alison and It’s nice to e-meet you.
My leadership style is highly collaborative, and I work closely with my teams to ensure that everyone feels heard and valued. I encourage open communication and ideas sharing, which I drive through workshops, asking powerful questions and addressing blocking issues openly. I am passionate about supporting the whole person at work, and I have gained an accreditation in coaching to complement my skills.
My experience in marketing and digital has given me a unique insight into the needs of addressable markets, and I use this knowledge to create solutions that are appealing, brand aligned but also user-friendly and intuitive.
I have led teams of individuals in problem-solving and creating solutions for the real world in boot-strapping start-ups and large Fortune 100s. I firmly believe that my Leadership philosophy and Coaching approach combined create environments where people can discover, make sense of what’s in front of them, and progress forward with momentum.
I have successfully led teams at large enterprises such as Thomson Reuters and Target, along with gaining experience in marketing and digital at Shutterfly, Fallon, and other top organizations. My teams have included multiple functions from UX to Print and Photography, UX Content Design and Strategy to Copywriting, Creative Operations and Production across integrated customer experiences.
