In detail:
Elana joined Baringa in 2024, bringing with her 18 years of experience in helping a broad spectrum of clients work through their most business-critical transformations- whether it be leading the change management efforts of a full enterprise-technology implementation or creating a future-proof Talent Strategy to attract, grown, and retain the best employees.
Elana started her career at Accenture, where she worked with a diverse group of clients on large scale Change Management and Training programs, as well as operating model and organizational design transformations. Elana then worked for Slalom Consulting, where she helped to build Slalom Chicago’s Organizational Effectiveness practice, working on with clients to develop, define, and deliver their talent strategies.
Elana enjoys collaborating with leaders to enhance the engagement and effectiveness of their employees, balancing data-driven decision making with industry best practices. She also works closely with clients to think about how cutting-edge technologies including AI can empower their workforces to move faster and make better decisions.
Elana is a community builder who lives in the Chicago suburbs with her husband, children, and dog, Hank. When not working, she is the president of the local chapter of a women’s empowerment nonprofit and enjoys biking (sometimes inside/sometimes outside), listening to audio books and podcasts, traveling to new places, and playing board games with her family.
