 Dr. Danielle Lombard-Sims, PCC, SPHR
Accomplished C-Suite Executive, Leadership & Organizational Transformation Expert

I founded Talentergy to shift how organizations think about leadership, talent, and culture.   In my 25+ years of leadership at the C-Suite and as an Executive Partner at Gartner, I've often heard companies say “people are our greatest asset,” all while pouring millions into systems while overlooking their people.  This led to burnout, toxic cultures, increasing organizational demands and layoffs. I’ve seen how easily talented teams can struggle without clear alignment, and a healthy culture.  

I also experienced the power of being poured into. I had mentors and sponsors who invested in me through leadership development and executive coaching, all which helped me reach the C-Suite by the time I turned 35.  Talentergy was created to pay that forward, and change the current narrative.    

I help leaders build workplaces where people feel seen, valued, and empowered, leading to increased engagement and retention. At Talentergy, we believe that when people lead well, organizations thrive, and when organizations thrive, so do our communities.  Let's build bold, together.
