Her clients include Boards, consultants, senior and C-suite executives, from industries as diverse as education, telecoms, heavy industry, consumer goods, biotech, not-for-profit, government agencies, financial and professional services. She is largely agnostic as to industry or function as her view is that “the key to the door of growth and lasting behavioural change is a restlessness with the status quo”.
Prior to founding Kemp Street Partners, Liane was the Partner who built and then led the professional development function for global executive search firm Spencer Stuart for more than eleven years (six of which were on the worldwide management team, five of those based in the USA). Before moving into professional services, she had a line management background, having managed the nutritional products division of what is now known as Fonterra, including leading the day to day operations of a US-based joint venture. She started her career in the oil and gas industry in a corporate planning and technical advisory capacity, before becoming the planning manager for a venture capital company.
Liane has a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics. She gained her coaching accreditation from Columbia University and served as the Academic Chair, and subsequently Conference Chair, for a number of their international Conferences. She is a member of the International Coach Federation (ICF) and is accredited in a number of psychometric tools, including the Leadership Circle Profile (LCP), Emotional and Social Competency Inventory (ESCI) and the Neethling Brain Instrument (NBI).
