The new paradigm is emerging.
The future is calling. Not only for revenue and results, but also for community, integrity, well-being, culture, purpose. In these times of unprecedented change, the time is now to step forward and lead your team and your legacy.
The philosophy of the Citrine & Champagne community is that if you make true impact, abundance and wealth is the natural result. And we believe true impact and transformation starts with people.
How do you create a balanced transformation that serves the brand, the people and the community? How do you foster belonging, well-being and growth? What would it take for your transformation to feel like a movement instead of a metric?
Our approach is underpinned by:
- Our community centred, impact-first, sustainable philosophy;
- The Prosci-ADKAR certification & methodology: build on 30 years of extensive longitudinal organisational research, behavioural and psychological change theory, human-centered change philosophy and actionable & measurable enterprise application with effect studies;
- Our unique Citrine & Champagne 6C Method with top-tier management consulting analyses and reports, ensuring your strategies built on data, research and logic as well as vision, purpose and community.
- 8+ years of experience in top-tier management consulting (EY, Capgemini, KennedyFitch) in the field of change management, strategic communication, people & culture and HR transformation.
I would love to help you drive the transformation as an interim Change & Communication Manager, HR Transformation Manager or People & Culture Lead.

“Charlotte is a great HR and Change professional who combines creativity, flexibility, and a very high quality of work with just a very open, pleasant and friendly attitude. Inside the high-stakes environment that is consulting, she is often the go-to person for other professionals looking to bring their views or story to paper in a creative way, to enhance the quality of the work provided, or to gain the insights of someone who has worked with a wide range of subject matters. Her high energy and adaptability make her find her way on any assignment and in any environment. I believe her to be a very valuable addition to any organisation looking to get things done in the HR space.”
