Chelsea Lewis

Hi, my name is Chelsea, I’m an organizational strategist and creative from Philadelphia and I build curious, resilient, future-ready teams.

After years in management consulting advising Fortune 50 clients on their most complex organizational challenges, I now partner with purpose-led, women, and non-binary led start-ups and mid-size companies across tech, consumer, and media to build future-ready, growth-minded teams through culture-defining experiences and organization design partnerships.

Recent Projects

I design culture-defining experiences that spark discussion and leave teams with new ways of thinking.

  • Plein Air at Dawn: Bespoke leadership offsite designed for a wellness tech startup to build skills and mindset around decision-making, navigating ambiguity, and releasing perfectionism through oil painting

  • Bring the Forest: Bespoke leadership offsite designed for a tech startup to strengthen communication, remote collaboration, and team trust through the exploration of natural ecosystems

  • Team Anthology: Designed and facilitated experiential creative writing workshop drawing on historical folklore and leadership parables, culminating in the team producing their own original short-story anthology

And I advise on organizational wellbeing and effectiveness.

  • Advised Chief People Officer of a mid-size technology organization through building a better, people-centered culture

  • Advisor Chief People Officer of a large consumer packaged goods company on future-state organizational design after an acquisition

  • Advised a founder of a media startup on designing resilient, flexible team operating systems

  • "Chelsea is a unicorn. She combines real, strategic expertise on team building with the kind of deep listening that most facilitators skip. She didn't just facilitate a session, she gave us a new way of seeing. Her understanding of our org and genuine care for our people translated into an impactful session that shifted our culture."

There are three ways to work with me:

  • Culture-defining moments and facilitated discussions that can change the trajectory of a team and equip them with new mental models to see their role and the collective.

    I bring frameworks and lived experience tested with the most innovative Fortune 50 clients, tailored and applied to invite your team to step into growth.

  • I partner with you to design the team operating systems, organizational structures, and leadership capabilities that enable top team performance and business growth.

    The scope of each engagement is built in partnership and typically lasts between 6 - 12 weeks.

  • 1:1 advisory for founders, CEOs, CHROs, COOs, and transformation leaders to make sense of complex organizational signals, support scaling organizations, and build a culture of trust through change.

    Advisory partnerships typically last 3 months.
