Every great company is local
We were founded on three simple beliefs.
That change happens from the bottom up.
That companies grow great inside out.
That global growth comes from local action.
We think of great companies like great cities.
Great cities are built by proud Locals.
Their passion creates culture.
Their commitment drives every dollar of value.
Their discontentment with every failure.
Great city leaders know this and put their People First.
Great companies are built by Proud People. Locals.

While managing large complex external brand programs, she realized that one of the biggest limitations to success was directly linked to belief in the brand and program on the inside by the company’s most important asset—its people. Her attention and passion shifted inward to leading organizational strategies and transformation programs focused on strategic employee-centered design and communications to drive positive change and in turn, impactful external success.
His work at Coca-Cola also included real-time social content and production for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil, leading the world’s largest user-generated photo contest and crafting Coca-Cola’s employee engagement program spanning all 206 countries that Coca-Cola serves.
