Testimonials

Real Words. Real Impact. Leaders share how Maeve helped them grow. Let’s see what we can do together.

Precillia Redmond and the Maeve group offer far more than traditional HR consulting. They become deeply embedded strategic partners who understand the intricacies of building and scaling a business like Marea.

Maeve have been nothing short of transformative for Marea. From our early days as a small team building our foundations, to navigating rapid growth and complex organizational changes, Precillia has functioned as a true extension of our leadership team – deeply invested in our success. Maeve didn’t just provide HR services; they became integral strategic partners, helping us build a thriving, people-centric organization.

One of the most impactful aspects of Maeve’s support has been at the employee level. As we scaled, maintaining a personal touch and ensuring smooth HR operations could have been a challenge. However, the Maeve group consistently provided strong business partner support, ensuring Marea employees felt heard and supported, and that HR processes were efficient and effective. Precillia personally set the tone at every All Hands meeting and helped us create a culture where every employee feels supported. She also researched benchmarks and always provided us with options including clear recommendations as we implemented and evolved our systems, support model and employee benefits. This created a solid foundation for our growth.

At the executive level, Precillia has been an exceptional thought partner and coach to myself and my entire leadership team. What truly sets Precillia apart is her remarkable blend of deep listening and coaching acumen with an unusually strong action orientation and pragmatic approach, far exceeding what I’ve typically experienced with HR leaders. She doesn’t just offer insightful advice – she is focused on driving to results and ensuring that discussions translate into real progress.

Although I have several decades of experience as a CEO, working with (Maeve’s) Precillia the last two years as my CEO-coach has given me a far greater understanding of my personal style, working type and skill mix, along with strategies for how to blend these learnings into my leadership, decision making, and organizational development efforts.  We’ve expanded our partnership with Maeve to C-level coaching and Leadership Team development, with an immediate organizational impact as a Leadership Team with a high talent ceiling totally embraces the challenge and Maeve path to higher levels of performance and collaboration.

Precillia has had a transformative impact on our organization. In just a few months, she helped to fundamentally shape and transform nearly every aspect of our HR and talent management systems and practices, from recruiting to performance management. In addition to her deep and substantive expertise in HR, talent management, and organizational design, Precillia has an extraordinary ability to engage and connect with people from diverse backgrounds. She quickly earned the trust and respect of staff across the organization and helped guide the leadership team through important change management processes. Compass has always been a mission and values driven organization, but thanks to Precillia’s guidance we are a stronger, more engaged, and more productive team.

Maeve provided proven operational experience and implemented thoughtful and effective HR solutions for us – from talent acquisition to leadership development.
