The people behind the work

Ewa Szafrańska co-founded Olive Tree Consulting Group to build a different kind of advisory practice, one where the quality of thinking takes precedence over the volume of output. She works directly with CEOs, boards, and senior leadership teams on the strategic and organizational questions that shape where an enterprise is going and whether it has what it takes to get there.

Her background spans strategy, organizational design, and human capital advisory, with experience built across PwC, Deloitte, Unilever, and ING. She has worked across Europe and the United States on engagements ranging from corporate restructuring and leadership alignment to major change programs and operating model redesign. She holds a Master's degree in Human Resources Management from the University of Warsaw.

Ewa brings particular depth at the intersection of strategy and organization: the questions of how a firm needs to be structured, led, and operated to actually deliver on its strategic ambitions. She is direct, evidence-driven, and most useful when the problem is genuinely hard.
