Consulting enhanced by technology

Founder
Dan Ring
I have spent over 12 years in senior HR leadership roles across financial services and technology, working across Japan and the Asia Pacific region.
I started Elevate after seeing how much value organisations leave on the table through weak people strategy and poor decision making. As the way we work changes, getting this right is more critical than ever. Elevate exists to make top tier people strategy accessible and commercially effective.
