Boutique Leadership Consultancy
Helmed by Frances Strickland, a business leader focused in optimising human capital, Verolead was founded in 2020 with the objective to help leaders thrive in these turbulent times. Frances’ experiences in global organizations across Retail, Automotive, FMCG, Utilities and Glass Manufacturing has exposed her to varying degrees of leadership competency over the last 40 years.
This has undoubtedly shaped her to be the leadership consultant she is today. American-born and raised, but with over a decade of life and professional experience in Switzerland, Frances is considerably aware of the role a person’s upbringing can play in their leadership abilities. This has empowered her to pave the way for a thriving and energizing office culture and work environment for all. Keep scrolling down to get to know more about us.

What happens when you are called upon to implement a regional transformation that is mandated by the global HQ? Such was the task faced by Frances, our Founder, who at the time was the head of HR for this organisation. The challenge required criteria for selecting where and whom would be affected by the changes, developing and facilitating communications in 17 markets and ensuring compliant social plans.
The result? After a year, the transformation was officially announced as ended. There were no challenges from 3rd party representatives, local authorities, or employees. The organisation retained 96% of its key talent and successfully implemented 98% of its talent plans during the period. Within the markets, local teams were recognised as great places to work via an independent external assessment of their respective work environments.
