– CEO, Nearform

“Tina Dao of Liberated Leaders excels as a transformative force in executive leadership and strategic planning. Tina has been an invaluable partner to Nearform on numerous initiatives. Her expertise in executive offsite design and facilitation, strategic go-to-market planning, executive advising and coaching, and fractional COO services has significantly benefited our organization.

One notable example is a leadership offsite that Tina designed and facilitated for us. She quickly understood my desired outcomes and the dynamics of our group, many of whom had never met in person before. The preparation she did with each individual was exceptional, and the group was impressed with her attention to detail. During the event, Tina expertly adapted to the flow and adjusted the schedule to ensure we achieved the desired outcomes. Her ability to seamlessly switch between the roles of facilitator, advisor, and coach was highly appreciated. Most notably, her ability to adeptly address technical topics not only gave her credibility with this group, but also advanced the thinking and discussion in the room.

Tina's investment in our success has transformed her into a trusted thought partner, effectively fulfilling the role of a fractional COO for Nearform. She has helped us think strategically and work through key decisions, resulting in several significant achievements including for example how we optimize our services strategy by business unit.

As a result of Tina's contributions, we have been able to pivot a strategic initiative, articulate an organizational structure strategy, and develop some key, emerging leadership talent. We look forward to continuing our collaboration with Tina and highly recommend her services to other organizations, particularly those in digital, seeking to enhance their leadership and strategic capabilities.”
