She helped me see and understand myself, and has given me the tools for how to take my professional and personal life to another level

I have had the pleasure and privilege of working with Therese on building a people and purpose-centric culture and highly recommend her to anyone who is serious about elevating their performance and improving the quality of their life. She helped me see and understand myself, and has given me the tools for how to take my professional and personal life to another level.

Therese and her team will empower your leadership team to identify and nurture high potential employees and develop them into high achievers, inspire creativity amongst the teams to achieve extraordinary goals, and create scalable support systems based on behavioral science

Cultural Transformation

Having founded three companies over the years, I realized one important thing along the way – you can never afford to stop learning. As each company grew from a handful to hundreds of people, the challenges have rarely been the same, so after 20 years of start-ups, I had the pleasure of meeting and engaging Therese to be my personal founder/executive coach. After a few sessions, I realized that the broader leadership team at my company would also greatly benefit from Therese and her team, so we engaged them to deliver their Cultural and Leadership Program.

 

They have worked extensively with many startups (especially at different stages of growth) which has given them the empathy to be attentive and responsive to fast-paced environments. They bring a unique combination of coaching management teams on both leadership development and business strategy, scale-up challenges, and establishing the right company values to enable a clear strategic direction. I was particularly impressed when they were able to bridge between people of different professional and personality backgrounds and get everyone “speaking the same language.”

 

By bringing their unique perspective on how to design and scale cultures to enable companies to grow sustainably, this program has had a lasting impact on our productivity and performance and has greatly improved collaboration and communication across the company. Over the years they have developed proprietary techniques and frameworks to model company culture, workplace engagement, leadership development, and recruitment (to name a few) to enable these skills to become teachable and actionable.

 

Therese and her team will empower your leadership team to identify and nurture high potential employees and develop them into high achievers, inspire creativity amongst the teams to achieve extraordinary goals, and create scalable support systems based on behavioral science. They have been a great asset to our company, and I’ve recommended them to several other executives who have also gone on to have very positive continued engagements with them.

Co-Founder & CEO at Delegate

Working with Therese and the Reimaginez team represents a powerful investment in the future of any organization. For any leader looking to make significant, positive, and lasting changes to their culture, Therese and her team at Reimaginez offer an outstanding partnership.

As a CEO Advisor, Therese and the team at Reimaginez has demonstrated a unique ability to be a champion and wellspring of wisdom – a truly invaluable partner in the quest to achieve greatness for myself and my organization.

 

Their transformative programs, through their profound understanding and application of high-performance culture, has made a significant impact on the growth and development of our organization. Their strategic, cultural, and holistic guidance aligns perfectly with the ethos I am passionate about both in my professional life and personally. It is a culture that I strive to embody and promote each day.

 

What sets Therese and her team at Reimaginez apart is their ‘whole human’ approach. This holistic view integrates personal growth and overall wellbeing alongside professional development, making for a unique and genuinely valuable programs.

 

Therese’s work extends beyond measurable results, though these are undeniably impressive with a significant return on investment. Her work is about fostering a vibrant and sustainable organizational culture that enhances performance, promotes engagement, and drives innovation.

 

Most importantly, it’s so clear how deeply passionate and driven she is by her mission to bring about positive change while maximizing our potential – that energy is infectious.

 …ensuring successful cultural integrations. One year after the merger, my team and I are extremely happy with the transition and can confirm we are in a much better environment than before. This would not have been possible without Therése’s guidance.

Cultural Integration

As the co-founder of a company that, for years, completely ignored the importance of building teams that share the same values and are culturally aligned, my perspective completely changed after working with Therese during the merger and acquisition (M&A) process for selling a division of my company. Therése assisted my team and me during the delicate transition from the seller to the buyer. Data show that 70-90% of M&As fail because key people leave, teams don’t get along, or demotivation sets in to the company being acquired. M&As are designed to benefit shareholders and not employees; corporations don’t understand the importance of investing in cultural integration before and after the merger and acquisition. 

 

Therese and Reimaginez have developed a thorough and effective program for ensuring successful cultural integrations. One year after the merger, my team and I are extremely happy with the transition and can confirm we are in a much better environment than before. This would not have been possible without Therése’s guidance.

 

Reimaginez’s mission and work has a strong, undeniable, and beneficial impact on American businesses. The work enables one of the cores of the American economy, startups, to grow, prosper and add value to humanity.

 

I plan on leveraging Therese and Reimaginez for my future entrepreneurial endeavors. 

Amanda Evans

CEO at IMR

On every occasion, the audience left on cloud nine, empowered to challenge the status quo and make a big impact in their businesses, careers, and lives

Therése is a fantastic entrepreneurial speaker and CEO advisor who shakes the sky. With almost two decades of experience, she has an excellent understanding of how to design and scale a thriving company culture and how to peak performance as a leader and high achiever.

 

I’ve had the pleasure of seeing her on stage several times, delivering a keynote speech at an exclusive conference in Stockholm, as part of a thought-provoking panel at an international book launch, and a workshop to coach and motivate the business elite of the American Chamber of Commerce in Sweden.

 

Therése is incredibly articulate, insightful, and inspiring. On every occasion, the audience left on cloud nine, empowered to challenge the status quo and make a big impact in their businesses, careers, and lives.

James York

Director of US Business & Innovation at Enterprise Estonia

Therése is highly driven, exceptionally smart, and talented at navigating the nuances of people and culture

Therése Gedda is one of those rare few who can create magic in any room she steps into. Immediately engaging, accessible, and sincere she captivates the attention of her audience and doesn’t let go until they have all experienced the catharsis that comes from experiencing an “aha!” moment that moves you to your core.

 

With a focus on the Future of Work and workplace culture, she imbues her TED-level talking style and content with nearly twenty years of hard-won lessons and experience that only someone who has mastered their craft can effectively share onwards for the benefit of others. And she does!

 

Therése is highly driven, exceptionally smart, and talented at navigating the nuances of people and culture; which are just as important to any growing organization as is the tech stack they build on. If your company or organization is lucky enough to be able to work with her, or has the opportunity for her come to speak at your event, don’t miss out! Your people, and your company’s financial and cultural growth will thank you!

Co-Founder at florrent

I am so thankful that Therése and Reimaginez have built novel frameworks filled with space for empathy and understanding that allow her to be an uncommonly effective founder and culture therapist

It’s been my good fortune to work with Therése over the past few years, learning from her deeply informed perspective on how culture affects the success of both individuals and teams. To borrow a quote from Carl Jung, “Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will rule your life and you will call it Fate”…talking to Therése, you will quickly learn that nowhere is this more true than with company culture. If diving into the subconscious of the collective sounds like a daunting task–you should know that Therése has not only demystified the process, but shared it with me and others in a way that becomes incredibly rewarding and generative. 

 

This is why I am so thankful that Therése and Reimaginez have built novel frameworks filled with space for empathy and understanding that allow her to be an uncommonly effective founder and culture therapist. Her keen eye for maximizing strengths and minimizing growing pains for founders and companies is, from my experience, unique in its approach and effect, and I would recommend to anyone running a company that understanding Therése’s perspective will be of inestimable value.

Therése is an extraordinary Founder/Executive Coach, and working with her continues to have a significant impact on my career and life.

Therése is an extraordinary Founder/Executive Coach, and working with her continues to have a significant impact on my career and life. I was originally introduced to Therése by a fellow founder when I was evaluating which direction to develop my career, and how to be happy and successful in my professional and personal life – while being well-aligned with my values and long-term goals. 

 

Therése combines the experience from working with many other founders and being a founder herself with an incredible ability to connect and identify the underlying aspects to work on and to draw strength and energy from. With her help, I got more clarity on aspects and areas that I’d like to be important in my life, on my strengths, and my values. Additionally, she taught me techniques, and we adjusted them to my individual needs to take the next steps with more energy, clarity, and ultimately more success. 

 

Therése is exceptional at custom-tailoring her frameworks and individual advice to create an immediate as well as long-lasting impact. I couldn’t be happier about working with her and have recommended her to many founders and other High Potential and High Achiever friends and colleagues.

Highly driven, goal-focused and with an extraordinary degree of commitment to her projects. She can handle the grit of being an entrepreneur – not being someone to quit or easily doubt her ideas or vision.

 

She wants to bring about change and engages the people around her in her ideas. She is also an advocate of entrepreneurship and has helped countless people on their path to building their business.

 

I count her among the most inspirational and brilliant people I have the fortune to know.

Her work has been instrumental in overcoming two major crises and has enabled the management team to be united, thus avoiding potentially catastrophic effects for the business. Therése has a very impressive track record, and I believe she is a black belt in her field.

Cultural Transformation 

 

During my tenure as the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of a fast-growing, high-tech, Cambridge-based company, I have participated in numerous cultural and leadership programs designed by Therese and her Reimaginez team. The programs are, without a doubt, one of the most valuable things offered by my employer. These programs not only enabled me to grow as a leader and sharpen my leadership skills but are critical for transforming members of a newly formed leadership team, from co-workers into team players.

Her unique perception and listening skills allow her to gather context and details about our needs and challenges and deliver guidance, feedback, and action plans that are relevant and truly helpful

Meetings with Therese are a bright spot on my calendar. Her unique perception and listening skills allow her to gather context and details about our needs and challenges and deliver guidance, feedback, and action plans that are relevant and truly helpful. As an early-stage company, we’re lucky to be building with Therese at our side; she’s a sounding board and has a depth and breadth of experience that help fuel our confidence.

 

Her ability to see challenges that might exist under the surface, or even in the subconscious, is unparalleled and so valuable. Therese encourages us to face obstacles head-on before they hinder our success.

When I talk about Therése with fellow founders, I often refer to her as a “founder therapist” – someone that can empathize and share the burden of your journey and help you navigate successfully

High-Performance Founder/ Executive Coaching

Having founded three companies over the years, I realized one important thing along the way – you can never afford to stop learning. As each company grew from a handful to hundreds of people, the challenges have rarely been the same, so after 20 years of start-ups, I had the pleasure of meeting and engaging Therese to be my personal founder/executive coach.

 

While I’ve worked with other “coaches” in the past, none of them had the extraordinary and rare combination of skills and experience that I found with Therése: she’s a founder herself, she’s worked with an international cohort of clients (giving her a uniquely diverse perspective), she’s a sought-after keynote speaker on business culture and lifestyle design (which are key for any entrepreneur or executive). 

 

Her programs are rooted in a behavioral science framework that allows each client to have a highly curated plan to achieve lifestyle and professional leadership goals; she then coaches you within a support structure that helps you stay accountable and ultimately catalyze the transformations you are seeking. By teaching you how to design and scale a strong culture, she shows you how to align the key pillars of leadership, recruitment, and strategy to grow your business.

 

 

She is always well-prepared and proactive in her teachings to ensure that her clients maximize the value of the programs. When I talk about Therese with fellow founders, I often refer to her as a “founder therapist” – someone that can empathize and share the burden of your journey and help you navigate successfully. I’ve personally recommended her to many of my founder friends who have subsequently gone on to refer her to their friends – a testament to her continued impact.

Her spoken qualities are excellent as well as her analytic capabilities as an advisor

I hereby give Therése Gedda my highest recommendation both as a strategic advisor and as a motivational speaker. I have had the great joy of encountering Ms. Gedda on several occasions and she continually over delivers – most lately as a keynote speaker on Internet Discovery Day, an industry leading event geared towards key people in the Swedish start-up and new media sectors. Her spoken qualities are excellent as well as her analytic capabilities as an advisor. I fail to see how anyone doing business with Therése Gedda could fail in being satisfied with the encounter.

I thought it was amazing how you were able to pull out what was important for all of us, and we didn’t really know it

The team has been fantastic. Therése has helped us clarify what our culture already is and helped us set goals for the future.

 

It’s been great. I think it has been very methodical. You are very methodical, Therése. Your team is very diligent. You turn things around quickly and work all different timezones.

 

Working with Therése and her team had been really great. Super responsive and super organized. I was only in some of the sessions, but the sessions I was part of, I thought it was amazing how you were able to pull out what was important for all of us, and we didn’t really know it.

The passion for challenging the status quo and empowering people to greatness, makes her an extraordinary inspiration for myself and other founders

Being a strategic advisor, I have had the great opportunity of working together with Therése. She is an amazing person and an exceptional leader who has built several companies from scratch. She started her entrepreneurial journey as a 17-year-old, founding a management consultancy company successfully working with startups and fast-growing firms for over a decade. She is one of the most talented individuals I have ever met. Therése has a great passion for entrepreneurship with a remarkable degree of commitment to her projects. The dedication to getting things done, the passion for challenging the status quo and empowering people to greatness, makes her an extraordinary inspiration for myself and other founders.

Committed, empathetic, determined, conscientious, generous – the words to describe Therese brilliance are many. I call her my stand-in cofounder for a reason

Committed, empathetic, determined, conscientious, generous – the words to describe Therese brilliance are many. I’ve worked with Therese in two capacities: as a fellow consultant in strategy and business development projects, and as a founder coach when I started my own company. As a consultant, she is what I call a “straight shooter” – someone with incredible intellectual horse-power and sound reasoning – with a deep understanding of people and team dynamics. This translates into the kind of leader that sets clear goals, priorities, and execution plans, while keeping the team connected and motivated.

 

As a coach, this rare combination of clarity and care stands out again. Therese has the clarity (and stamina) to sort through chaos effectively and the real care that makes people reconnect to their values and mission. From a single session with Therese, you can expect to go from lost and helpless to grounded and energized. She gets people out of their narratives and into the present, and the focus needed at the moment to co-create with her the strategies, tactics, and action plans needed to make the most of the current opportunity. I call her my stand-in cofounder for a reason.

What really makes her shine is the immense passion she demonstrates for what she is doing

Therése is a fantastic person in so many ways. On top of being a serial entrepreneur, she is an absolute top-class networker and extremely entrepreneurial.

As a startup advisor and speaker, she is constantly connecting with other entrepreneurs to generously sharing her learnings, insights and experiences to help them grow as well.

I am truly thankful for your willingness to share your wisdom and find your story to be remarkably inspiring

Thank you so much for coming to speak at NYU yesterday, I found it to be a very educational and inspiring talk. Throughout your speech, I had the chance to self reflect, using my father’s business as an example and managed to identify where many of the underlying issues were. Like you said, it has to do a lot with culture and encouraging behaviour that aligned with the culture.

Welcome to Reimaginez

We are so glad you’re here
We can’t wait to talk to you about high performance thriving cultures

3x Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR), positioning the company as the dominant player in their niche

Client: High-growth, VC-backed life sciences company headquartered in the US.

Challenge: Engage a mixed culture of High Performers and Cruisers to develop and scale a High Achieving Culture during an unprecedented period of growth, fundraising, growing pains, and new business.

Results: To implement a cultural transformation, we focused on a mix of strategic, tactical, and operational programs and initiatives. Reimaginez implemented several cultural initiatives and training and development programs, which enabled the team to experience a 50% increase in growth with High Performers.

To level up the team, we implemented several Futuristic Leadership Programs for management and next-generation leaders to strengthen and level up the teams. Alongside the client, we also advanced the culture and leadership from a mixed performance to a High Achieving Culture.

 

We helped the company to develop a proven recruitment methodology to attract more culturally aligned High Performers; the client adopted and implemented the proprietary processes, models, and frameworks that included The People and Purpose Centric Recruit on Culture Framework™.

 

We helped the company shift to a fully-remote model, align resources and people, and scale the company. Additionally, we leveraged product-market fit to increase market share that led to becoming the dominant player in their niche by creating a 3x growth in Annual Recurring Revenue in one year.

 

Merging Two Rival Companies Into One Thriving Company and Culture

Client: High-growth, VC-backed life sciences company headquartered in the US.

Challenge: A (smaller) company, our client, acquired a (larger) competitor making it crucial to align and integrate two competing companies on culture, leadership, and strategy. Not only did these competitors differ in dynamics and cultures, but also languages, foundations, challenges, and opportunities. Some might have called the environment of the acquired company mediocre or challenged.

Results: To successfully orchestrate a cultural integration, it was crucial to get the key players to agree on a joint vision that would provide a common ground to perform, collaborate, and thrive as a single unit. Reimaginez worked with the c-suite and key stakeholders of each of the companies to establish a deep level of trust and support. Uncovering unifying threads around values, goals, and leadership and developing and implementing the cultural integration plan ensured a smooth integration, setting them up for future success and exponential growth.

 

 

45% Revenue Increase During the Pandemic for an 18-year-old company

Client: Founder and CEO of an 18-year-old high-growth SaaS company in Europe with over nearly 200 million USD in annual revenue and a significant presence in 38 countries.

Challenge: Strengthen and align the CEOs, management team, and the board, remove roadblocks of internal conflicts to scale and set the company up for success with a strategic and cultural plan.

Results: With an already thriving culture, company leadership needed help navigating challenges that included removing toxic individuals and refinancing the company. Therese worked directly with the CEO to elevate his leadership and public image, partner with stakeholders, and thrive under extreme pressure. There was also success in strengthening the management team, leveling up performance throughout the company, and improving cultural initiatives. 

Therese also provided long- and short-term strategic, operational, and tactical support to scale and set the direction of the company with the 2028 vision in mind. These pillars helped the client align the board and leadership on collaboration, strengthen the culture of kindness and performance, and execute initiatives to substantially outperform growth targets. 

The outcome of addressing these challenges swiftly resulted in a 45% growth in revenue which is the best year-over-year (YOY) in the company’s history.

 

 

10x Deal Sizes

Client: Serial Founder and CEO of a Series-A health-tech company in the US.

Challenge: Scaling up yearly revenue and closing large commercial partnerships to secure market share.

Results: The underlying challenge was a disconnect between the goals, strategies, and priorities within the company, especially between the engineering and commercial teams. Steps taken included aligning the company around a united vision and strengthening their culture, followed by a targeted commercial strategy focused on clearer dream personas and value propositions. These initiatives resulted in increasing the average deal size by more than ten times.

 

 

Developing Six Innovations with One of Them Worth $3.5M in Revenue Over Four Years

Client: High-growth, Series B life sciences company based in Massachusetts.

Challenge: Despite an established market share and early successes, the company had lost some of its innovative edge. They were looking to reignite the creative and innovative spirit they were founded upon and develop innovative high-value products and services to grow market share and revenue.  

Results: Over ten months, we delivered our Innovation Reimagined Program to several senior technical leaders, including the CTO. The program’s goal was to develop an innovation culture, an innovation mindset among the leaders, and develop one innovation that was ready for launch with a significant impact on revenue. 

 

During the program, we explore the customer-centric philosophy and strategy alongside looking at innovation, market opportunities, and value-creation for the customers in a more holistic and analytical way while applying creativity and design thinking to the process. 

 

The program didn’t only develop one innovation but six in total. They were created in collaboration with the company’s dream customers, aligned with the vision of the company, and in service to the market. This market pull instead of market push approach helped the company create a unique and tailored innovation strategy with products and services desired by the market and a readiness to buy. 

 

One of the innovations alone was worth half a million year one and one million per year for the following three. Besides the overall value of $3.5M in revenue for one innovation alone, the additional innovations secured the company’s competitiveness in the market and additional revenue with high profitability. 

 

Besides developing six innovations in two different product categories, the team members also ended up closing a significant deal with one of the dream customers who they co-created with during the program.
