Who

Andrea Riveros

Andrea Riveros is a passionate and driven leadership consultant, drawing on 20 years’ experience in strategic and operational HR, leadership development and change management and transformation across a range of industries and organisations in the Asia Pacific.

 

Background

 

Harnessing her background in psychology and a Masters degree in Human Resource Management, Andrea’s practice is shaped by the exploration of the human behaviour that defines great leaders, moving beyond words and examining the actions, investigating the impact great leadership has on workplace culture and ensuring outcomes link to business strategies – resulting in tangible improvements to both client and employee experiences.

Experience

 

Her specialist HR experience across multinational luxury retail, fast moving consumer goods, healthcare, finance, entertainment, travel and Government organisations informs skilful evaluation of employee motivations and astute organisational strategies. This allows leaders and their teams to flourish professionally and deliver demonstrable business impacts. Andrea’s uniquely empathetic and science-driven approach allows her to cultivate strong relationships with senior business leaders and CEO’s, understand business priorities and challenges, and provide long-lasting, pragmatic solutions.

“Andrea has a very clear and deep understanding of the key drivers behind performance, employee engagement and organisational transformation. Andrea’s strategic and empathetic mindset, in tandem with her commercial business approach to leadership, was instrumental in ensuring we exceeded company objectives.”

“Andrea has assisted me in reviewing business opportunities with precision and care, and by adding exceptional value on board and advisory contracts. Her dedicated and considered approach to executive coaching has empowered and supported my growth in both career and life.”

“Andrea is an exceptional change management professional who has supported me in leading a cultural and business transformation process in two key roles over the past five years. Andrea has very high emotional intelligence and a wonderful ability to build relationships, anticipate issues and work proactively with leaders to address barriers to cultural transformation to develop a cohesive culture. She is gifted at coaching leaders to build a strong team culture, guiding them through the challenges of implementation of cultural change, understanding the issues that arise through such processes and working to develop solutions. In both my experiences, I relied on Andrea’s judgment, discretion and insight on a daily basis. She is optimistic, warm and finds genuine satisfaction in seeing both people and organisations reach their full potential.”

Andrea’s ability to influence stakeholders at all levels of management is one of her greatest strengths, as is her ability to drive long-lasting organisational change by leveraging various transformation models.

I would recommend her to any progressive organisation.”
