Paulette Gabriel, President
Paulette Gabriel is President of KEY LEADERSHIP INITIATIVES. She
has significant experience consulting to executives and organizations,
has a successful executive coaching practice, and has helped organizations
and individuals accelerate their capacity for development, self
renewal and continuous learning. Additionally, she has a strong
background leading strategic and tactical human resources initiatives
at the executive and managerial level. Her challenges cross a broad
number of industries including pharmaceuticals & chemicals,
financial services, transportation, consumer products, consulting
services and retail. Entrepreneurial roots have contributed to Paulette’s
practical and value conscious approach to achieving results.
Innovation and effective problem solving combined with the ability
to size up and respond to issues quickly and effectively have been
cornerstones for Paulette’s internal and external consulting
work. At Wyeth Pharmaceuticals, Paulette was recruited to be a change
agent and consultant to the headquarters executive team. After success
in that role, she was asked to take on a global change initiative---transforming
Wyeth from a holding company culture to a health services culture.
At Fleet Credit Card Services, as a strategic member of the executive
team, she led major change initiatives as the company was bought
by Fleet Financial Group and she was able to provide stability and
credibility at a very difficult juncture in the organization’s
growth. At Manchester, with key responsibilities for business development
including the design of organizational and managerial development
and change initiatives for key clients, her client relationships
were characterized by a great degree of trust and credibility. At
Mars, Inc., a strong manufacturing company, as a result of being
promoted quickly, Paulette enjoyed staff and line assignments in
several of the companies that are a part of the Mars, Inc. umbrella.
Because Mars is privately held, the entrepreneurial climate necessitates
that HR professionals act decisively as a business person first
and HR manager second—Paulette established the foundation
for business partnering early. While there, Paulette worked in a
global climate for a very large company and with a high-powered
management team.
Across her career, Paulette has worked as either a consultant or
an HR executive in:
- Catalyzing change from the most senior levels to the individual
contributor level in order to insure the viability of the business,
business team and/or the individual.
- Positioning the human resources of the organization for growth
within emerging markets and emerging cultures.
- Leading teams and campaigns to breakthrough results in support
of business goals.
- Taking charge of multifaceted and sometimes uncharted challenges
and developing expertise as well as delivering results.
- Creating credible and responsive human resource services groups
that reflect a benchmark business standard.
Currently, in addition to her role at KEY LEADERSHIP INITIATIVES,
Paulette is completing her doctoral dissertation on the subject
of personal transformative experiences as they relate to transformational
leadership. For more information on this topic, visit our Resources
