Renee Zaugg Consulting | A framework for executives and leaders.

Lead courageously, act swiftly, and create results that last.

When disruption hits, most leaders freeze. The best ones don’t.

They run to the fire.

A fire-tested framework and proven results.

Renee helps executives and rising leaders build the resilience, clarity, and courage to lead through chaos — and come out stronger. With 40+ years of Fortune 100 experience (Aetna, CVS Health, Otis Worldwide), Renee knows firsthand what it takes to align people, technology, and culture for measurable impact.

Whether you’re facing stalled transformation, siloed teams, or a leadership pipeline problem, Renee brings a fire-tested framework and proven results to help you move from firefighting to firepower.
