This is not a resume.
This is a passion!
This is a passion!
I’ve been a lifelong student of the human mind—curious about how people grow, develop, and make meaning in their lives.
With a background in organizational psychology and additional training in cognitive science, I’ve spent decades helping organizations answer a simple but powerful question:
How do we create workplaces where people and the business thrive together?
The science is clear. The solutions are human. And it’s not as complicated as we make it.

For the last 14 years, I’ve either been leading others,
or coaching and developing the leaders who do.
But don't just take my word for it.
Here is what my colleagues, former bosses, and clients have to say about me.
Mike LeCrone, Head of Corporate Investigations @ Zurich (former colleague at Dell)
It was my great pleasure to work with and learn from Aliceanne. She is a terrific leadership and organizational development professional with uncanny insights regarding both.
No matter the challenge, Aliceanne offers multiple perspectives, tools, and exercises that foster individual development and organizational effectiveness.
Her grasp of communication styles and the interaction among styles is truly exceptional. She enabled each individual on my team to identify their own personal communication style, explained how each style interacts with others (strengths and blind spots), and equipped us with tools to improve accordingly
I've not met a more effective leadership and organizational development professional. Every organization can benefit from Aliceanne's skills.
Dave Spencer, Senior Manager, Product Security Incident Response Team @ Dell (former colleague)
In an environment of constant change, Aliceanne has been indispensable to our Security and Resiliency Organization at Dell. Our team must, by definition, perform and thrive under constant pressure and even attack. Aliceanne has worked with us both as a group facilitator and an individual coach and she's excelled in both roles. She helps individuals and teams understand their challenges holistically, in the context of both their own needs and the systems they operate in, and consider how best to adapt their leadership and working styles accordingly. She does this in Leadership Development Programs, with teams that are facing unique challenges, or even just helping individuals fine tune their approach to change. She brings empathy and vulnerability coupled with evidence-based practice, keeping her advice both human and grounded. I'd recommended Aliceanne to any organization looking to truly unlock their potential.
Ed Hagopian, VP @ Cream City Cyber (former colleague at Dell)
I had the privilege of working with Aliceanne and can confidently say that her professional expertise, paired with her uniquely empathetic nature, sets her apart as a remarkable leader and mentor. She possesses an extraordinary ability to cut through organizational complexity with razor-sharp insight, and she brings a deep understanding of how people and systems interact within the workplace. At the same time, she has an uncanny knack for nurturing individual growth—her guidance helped me become more self-aware, more effective in my leadership approach, and ultimately a better person.
What truly distinguishes Aliceanne is her warmth and genuine concern for those she works with. She creates an environment that welcomes questions, fosters learning, and encourages collaboration, all while maintaining a non-judgmental, supportive demeanor. Colleagues naturally gravitate toward her, not only because of her unparalleled expertise in organizational psychology but also because she is deeply invested in helping others succeed.
Jennifer Davis, Chief of Staff @ Intel (former colleague at Dell)
Aliceanne has a keen understanding of human behavior and its influence on interpersonal interactions as well as its impact on culture.
She uses this knowledge to develop growth strategies which are comprehensive yet adaptable to the changing needs of both the individual and the organization.
Fostering collaborative environments through teambuilding exercises, behavioral interventions, and the forging of trusted relationship relationships across organizations, she is an enabler of healthy organizational growth.
She develops leadership capabilities through coaching and mentoring, helping others to build their own emotional intelligence, and via education and training programs.
Aliceanne has influenced positive change for me both personally and professionally and I would recommend her as an immeasurable asset to any organization.
Eduardo Tejera Moran, Talent Acquisition Lead @ Nexxiot (former client of my consulting firm, Starling)
"Genuine expert" is the phrase that comes to mind when I think about Carrie (my former legal name was Carrie Patrick - I changed it to Aliceanne in 2024). One of the best listeners I've ever met, I was always in awe of Carrie's ability to understand and give feedback in our conversations.
She helped my team and I go through difficult times as a young business, providing us with amazing exercises and workshops that taught us how to communicate effectively within the team and reduce conflict.
I could recommend Carrie as a person who has profound knowledge and great abilities to listen and understand problems in teams and individuals. Wise, smart, energetic, amazing and well educated professional who can be trusted - that's her! Carrie never refuses you when you ask her for help.
Thanks for everything Carrie!
Brock Kull, VP / Managing Director @ Manpower (former boss @ Manpower)
During her time at Manpower, Carrie (my former legal name was Carrie Patrick. I changed it to Aliceanne in 2024.) established herself as a reliable, organized and driven performer. In our industry, one of the most difficult tasks is to find candidates in a “tapped out” job sector. Through creative techniques and dogged determination, Carrie was able to do just that! Her use of resources and technology helped us achieve our revenue goals while creating happy clients & associates. Carrie is a very intelligent person with a highly functional personality that will mix well with any organization. Although she’s moved in, I continue to see Carrie as a colleague and a valuable resource. She’s a great catch for any progressive business!
Alik Mock, Founder @ Genwise (former client of my consulting firm, Starling)
Carrie consulted for my company in our C Suite. She was professional and knew when to have a good laugh. Her superpower is listening and gave great feedback. Thank you, Carrie, for helping the company and myself!
