Maggie Herman

Maggie Herman is an accomplished human resources leader, executive coach, and organizational consultant with more than 25 years of experience guiding organizations through growth, transformation, and complex change. Throughout her career, she has worked across a wide range of industries including professional services, financial services, energy, manufacturing, and wholesale distribution, building deep expertise in leadership development, organizational design, workforce strategy, and change management. After spending a decade with Southern Company and holding senior HR leadership roles with nationally recognized organizations, Maggie recently took a major leap forward by launching her own consulting and executive coaching practice, allowing her to broaden her impact and help leaders across multiple organizations become more effective and resilient.

Maggie’s transition into entrepreneurship came after a recent layoff prompted a period of reflection about where she could create the greatest value. While she had long considered starting her own business, she wanted to first gain extensive experience across different companies, industries, and leadership environments before making the move independently. Today, she partners with organizations and senior leaders on executive coaching, organizational design, change management, and AI enablement, with a particular focus on the human side of transformation. She is especially passionate about helping companies understand that successful AI adoption is not simply a technology initiative, but a leadership, workforce, and operating model challenge that requires thoughtful communication, capability building, and organizational redesign.

As founder of her consulting practice, Maggie now wears many hats, from coaching executives and advising leadership teams to networking, business development, and speaking with new clients about transformation strategies. What once seemed intimidating—particularly the sales and entrepreneurial side of running a business—has become energizing because of the passion she brings to her work. Guided by values of integrity, people-first leadership, and doing the right thing, Maggie is driven by the belief that strong leadership can create meaningful, measurable change within organizations and in the lives of the people they serve. Through her work, she continues to help leaders navigate uncertainty, embrace innovation, and build organizations that are both high-performing and deeply human-centered.
