Judy Skoglund
Chief Learning Officer
Judy is a founding partner of Think2Perform, a performance consulting firm. As a human resources expert, Judy is in high demand by companies who seek competitive edge through effective talent management. Judy brings extensive experience as a senior executive at American Express to her current passion: helping small to mid-size organizations improve their bottom-line performance.
Non-profit organizations such as Neighborhood Health Care Network, Face2Face and Minnesota Public Radio rely on Judy to help them develop the rigorous business process, measurement and teamwork capabilities essential for capturing increasingly scarce public and private funding. Small businesses call on her to help them formulate growth strategies and manage the transition from start-up to a more complex enterprise.
Judy is also a seasoned leadership coach. She has helped many top executives enhance their leadership impact, and now focuses on building leadership bench strength by readying mid-level managers for more senior roles. Judy also coaches professionals contemplating a significant life or career change. Judy’s career reinvention coaching is especially valued by organizations who want to forestall the looming talent shortage.
Prior to joining Think2Perform, Judy was a Vice President in Human Resources and an Officer of American Express Financial Advisors, where she led many critical change initiatives, including: the first national sales training program; opening the first American Express Career Development Center in Minneapolis; leading the development of the American Express Financial Advisors talent assessment process; and creating a robust Six Sigma and process management structure for AEFA Client Services.
Judy is a member of the Human Resource Planning Society and the Society for Human Resource Management. She also serves as a cross company mentor for high potential women.
