Founder Personality-based Internal Auditing PBA®

​

Hello & welcome! May I introduce myself? I am a passionate, open-minded thinker and experienced professional who expands the boundaries of business theory & practice. My work integrates internal audit expertise and academic psychology into a 360 degree thinking grid to evaluate human factors.

I am a one-person think tank who provides keynote speaking, training, and management consulting services. I am the founder of The Organizational Personality Framework, in the context of internal audit I call it Personality-based Internal Auditing PBA®.

​

I have a knack for breaking down complexity and putting forward new insights based on unusual thought combinations. I prefer work settings where all partners are on an equal footing, and dislike narrow thinking, status orientation, and knowledge hoarding.
