  Strategy. Culture. Leadership. At Keystone Group Int'l we are motivated by partnering with companies to make a substantial impact in these three areas. After 15 years in HR I realized my true passions lie in strengthening companies strategy and growth; strengthening companies culture by creating a strategy to improve the culture AND align the culture with the business strategy; and neither business strategy or culture strategy can happen with out have a solid leadership growth strategy.I partner with leadership teams to help them drive results in Strategy, Culture and Leaders.
