“Ms Cremona’s very valuable skill set in change management, her great sensitivity to group dynamics and her strong ability to take a role in leading teams through difficult situations of change and uncertainty have helped us in numerous occasions with our senior executive clients from major Australian, Asian and global blue chip companies.

T. Kearney (now Chief Executive Officer, ABB Group)
