Leadership Catalyst and Executive Coach Tracey Thorsen works with companies to create and foster working environments that both attract and retain high-performing employees, and routinely deliver bottom-line results.

Prior to becoming a coach and management consultant, Tracey’s 20-year career in a Fortune 10 company (AT&T) centered on first-of-a-kind and one-of-a-kind opportunities. She excelled at inspiring teams to “take the hill”, leveraging each member’s strengths and focusing on their development areas, all while the engaged team collectively created systems and processes to attack chaos.   

In addition to her leadership and coaching capabilities, she brings extensive work experience in change leadership, organizational design, sales, customer experience and business planning and strategy. She held key roles in 18 major initiatives, including: downsizings, technology upgrades, market segment and sales territory realignments, business controls, acquisitions, reorganizations, start-up teams and business transformations.
