What Clients Say

Gerri took our leadership team and subsequently the rest of our organization of ~45 through the fundamentals of setting parameters, determining and subsequently implementing OKRs. Being mindful of our varying levels of experience and understanding of OKRs across the organization, Gerri was able to ensure shared alignment and consistently provided relatable and easy to understand examples. She worked with our team to refine and improve our targets and provided valuable insights that helped us analyze the work to be done, and ultimately simplify to the most important objectives. I’d recommend Gerri as an expert in this area – she is passionate about the work, highly methodical and professional across the board.

Gerri has been instrumental in helping the management team at Pablo Group develop, deploy, execute, and measure our OKRs. Gerri was more than a consultant to our team. She was an active advisor invested in our success as a business and an engaging coach advocating for full team participation focused on helping us find our answers. As an advisor, Gerri was invested in the success of our organization by challenging us to think critically about our OKRs. As a coach, she encouraged comments and questions that drove collaboration and took our fundamental knowledge of OKRs to higher levels throughout the OKR cycle. Our team is set up for future success thanks to the coaching and tools provided by Gerri, and we feel we have a trusted advisor that can be leveraged at any time in the future. I happily recommend Gerri to our colleagues.
