Ashley Hajnos is a member of Spencer Stuart’s Leadership Advisory Services with a specialized focus on organizational culture and top team effectiveness. With over a decade in management consulting, she has helped organizations across various industries navigate leadership change, better align their culture and create strong blended leadership teams through the process of acquisition.

Ashley treasures the “a-ha” moment when leaders realize the impact that culture has on their company’s ability to reach its potential. She believes that the people element of business performance is often undervalued and works to highlight the impact people and culture can have long term on business outcomes and performance.

  • During large-scale acquisitions, she has supported senior leaders in change management through persona-based onboarding, aligning executives on the future-state culture of their newly formed business, and empowering blended leadership teams to intentionally create the best possible new organization.
  • Ashley came to Spencer Stuart from a well-known, highly regarded international advisory firm, where she spent nearly a decade consulting on and managing organizational transformation projects.
