Anastasia's Bio

Decoder of Organizational Friction. Builder of the Human Edge at Scale. Simplifies Complex Change. Anastasia Montejano built her career leading high-stakes people transformation across five continents—where performance couldn’t afford to stall. In these environments, she saw a pattern most organizations miss: performance breaks under pressure when people don’t have the capacity to adapt. That insight led her to become part of a small group worldwide certified in Adaptability Intelligence (AQ), a science-based approach to keeping work moving as change accelerates. Today, Anastasia helps organizations build the Human Edge—strengthening the uniquely human capabilities to perform in relentless change. Trusted by organizations including American Express, Capital Group, Harley-Davidson, CBRE, and BNY Mellon, she is a LinkedIn Learning instructor reaching 68,000+ global learners and an award-winning author alongside Marshall Goldsmith.
