The Ayers Group is pleased to announce that it has added two Directors to its Organizational Effectiveness Consulting practice.

Rosemary Maxwell Lynch returns to her native New York after 25 years of working with corporations on the West Coast, where she developed expertise in identifying and merging nuances of different geographic cultures that affect businesses. Throughout her career, she has focused on moving organizations forward by teaching managers to recognize behaviors that help achieve goals, as well as those behaviors that can serve as a deterrent to goal achievement. Her broad base of coaching and organizational projects includes clients in the financial services, health care, insurance, pharmaceutical, and tech sectors, as well as municipalities, educational institutions, and utilities. Rosemary completed a doctorate in organizational psychology and received a master’s degree in counseling psychology, with a focus on organizational development.

Joseph Bruccoleri comes to Ayers with extensive experience gained in senior positions in the OEC practices of several global HR management services firms. Since 1984, Joe has acted as trainer, team facilitator, executive coach and consultant to organizations undergoing restructurings, divestitures, mergers, acquisitions, and changes in management and processes to upgrade leadership talent. He has worked throughout the U.S., Canada, and Latin America with companies in consumer products, pharmaceuticals, electronics, consumer health care, automotive, fragrance, direct mail, manufacturing and financial services. Joe has a master’s degree in organizational psychology.

“We welcome Joe and Rosemary,” says practice head Joan Caruso. “Their addition is a direct result of the steadily increasing workflow we’ve seen during the past 18 months and our desire to continue providing the highest level of service in the face of this growth. Joe has assumed responsibility for the OEC practice in our New Jersey offices, while Rosemary and I share responsibility for the New York and Connecticut practices.

“Both also continue to be service deliverers, which is something new for Ayers. Until now, none of our consultants have been on staff. This does not reflect a change in our overall strategy or focus; it reflects the strength of their abilities and experience. We will continue to build and maintain our army of consultants, which balances generalists with specialists in a range of areas and enables us to provide the right consultant for each assignment.”
