Reference
Tereza joined my team at Capgemini to lead OCM for a fast-paced, one-year, $10M+ ServiceNow transformation across 152 State of Texas agencies. She came into a challenging situation where stakeholder trust needed to be rebuilt and quickly got things back on track. She put the right governance in place, rebuilt key relationships, and successfully led the change, adoption, and migration efforts. Tereza was someone I could count on to bring structure, ownership, and results in a very demanding environment.
That has been the thread through twenty years of corporate and consulting work, starting as a project manager at Dr Pepper Snapple Group.
At Capgemini I was known for stepping into difficult client environments, rebuilding relationships and turning engagements around. As a Director at KPMG reporting directly to the KPMG CIO, I led transformation work and global teams of 100+ people. I have also advised startups and private equity backed companies, including Rechat through Interlock Partners.
I was born in Latvia, came to the United States at 17 as an exchange student, and work in English, Latvian and Russian.
