Strategist and operator. MBA, 28+ years in transformation and leadership across enterprise tech and scale-ups. Leads brand calibration, positioning, and the operating rhythm at SocialTide.
I lead the strategic side of every engagement. That means brand calibration (capturing how a business should sound and what it should emphasise), positioning (sharpening the distinctive thing the business is actually offering), and the operating rhythm that keeps the system aligned with what the business is trying to do month over month.
The throughline of my career has been working alongside leaders who are trying to translate something genuinely valuable into something the market can understand and act on. I bring a strategist's perspective and an operator's depth to that work. SocialTide is where it shows up most directly, but it is the same problem I have been working on for nearly three decades.
MBA. 28+ years in transformation and leadership, including roles at BlackBerry, Auvik, and Rangle.io. Founded Tara C. Wilson Consulting in 2016, where I work with mid-market leaders navigating AI and digital change as a fractional COO, VP of Operations, or Chief of Staff.
I write longer-form thinking at transformationcatalystworks.com on transformation, leadership, and the operating systems that determine whether a strategy actually executes.
