“I’m thrilled to be joining Nielsen Training & Consulting as an Organizational Development consultant. Having worked with Greg for many years, I know his deep competence, integrity, and gift for helping organizations and their boards to thrive. With over 40 years of experience in both for-profit and nonprofit organizations, I specialize in creating organizational effectiveness, aligning strategy, structure, and culture, strategic planning, teambuilding, and leadership development coaching. I’m excited to partner with Greg to help organizations achieve their mission, engage their staff, and make a lasting impact in the communities they serve.”
A client’s perspective:
As Executive Director of Dare to Care Food Bank, one of my first decisions was to engage Dave to develop a new strategic plan, as well as create and institute a new organizational structure and performance review process. Dave took complete ownership of the process, working closely with me, key staff, board members and stakeholders to accomplish this work in both a timely and professional manner. That strategic plan and org/performance review process set Dare to Care on an amazing growth arc for over a decade.

“I had the privilege of working with Dave to develop our organizational values and design an experiential training to cascade them across the company. His ability to translate our vision into an engaging, hands-on experience was remarkable, and over a year later, we’re still living these values every day. His insight, creativity, and passion left a lasting mark on our culture.”
Kila Sweeney, Chief People Officer, Ovation Healthcare
"I’ve had the privilege of working with Dave Neumann at two different companies, each time bringing him in to help us navigate culture transformation. Dave’s process is thoughtful, his analysis is spot-on, and his wisdom runs deep. His experience working with executive leadership was instrumental in helping us gain full buy-in from our leadership teams, ensuring our culture strategy had the support it needed from the top down. Dave has a way of turning “culture” from a concept into something real and actionable, which helped us roll it out in a way that truly connected with our people and made a measurable impact on engagement. On top of all that, Dave is just fantastic to work with—kind, collaborative, and one of the most impressive humans you’ll ever meet."
