Resolve what’s in the way. Anticipate what’s ahead.
Power of the Ask advises founders, executives, and the teams around them at moments of growth and transition. We help leaders make consequential decisions, establish authority, navigate difficult conversations, and build the relationships and teams their next chapter requires.
A new investment, a larger role, or a changing team can alter the demands on a leader almost overnight. The decisions become more visible. Relationships need to be renegotiated. The way the organization worked before may no longer be enough.
We work alongside leaders in those moments—bringing clear thinking, candid counsel, and practical support to the decisions, conversations, and team dynamics that determine what happens next.
We help leaders and teams find clarity in complexity and move forward with confidence.

"Victoria is a highly perceptive and strategic consultant who brings both analytical rigor and deep emotional intelligence to her work. At a pivotal moment in our growth, she conducted a comprehensive culture assessment that illuminated the structural dynamics shaping our organization — including the inherent tension between midwifery-led care and traditional hospital systems that require intentional alignment to fully support that model. Her recommendations were both strategic and actionable, including a shift toward empowered transparency in our brand narrative and the codification of cultural behaviors to ensure consistency across sites. Most importantly, she helped us define which elements of our culture are non-negotiable and how to operationalize them so they can scale alongside a rapidly growing organization."
— Elaine Purcell, Founder and COO of OULA Health"Working with Victoria was a truly valuable experience at an important moment in my leadership as an elected official. In a role where the pace is fast and the pressures are constant, she helped me move from reacting to challenges as they arose to leading with more clarity, intention, and structure. Through our work together, I began setting clearer boundaries, communicating more directly, and thinking more deliberately about the kind of team culture I want to build within my office. Victoria is able to translate big leadership concepts into practical tools that I could immediately apply in a public sector environment. She pushed me to separate kindness from over-accommodation, to ground decisions in consistent office standards rather than personal instinct, and to create greater fairness and clarity across my team. I left our work feeling more focused, more intentional, and better equipped to lead an office that is both supportive and highly effective."
— Sumbul Siddiqui, Mayor of Cambridge, Massachusetts"Victoria was able, within 24 hours, to synthesize a complex and urgent situation and present different angles and approaches I could take. She quickly took in a lot of moving pieces and reflected them back in a way that made sense, offering multiple paths forward rather than a single fixed answer. What stood out just as much was how she held the process. Victoria was thoughtful and diplomatic, and even when she had a strong point of view, she made space for my concerns and worked through them with me. I walked away not just with a recommendation, but with a clearer sense of how to move forward with confidence."
