Monika Gietz
Founder, Stoa Advisory
With over 20 years as a corporate senior executive across Fortune 500 companies in Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Americas, I've led global teams through complex transformations, restructures, and cross-border integrations.
I've seen first-hand what happens when organisations invest in their people properly, and what it costs when they don't. The organisations that will thrive in the age of AI aren't just the most technically advanced. They're the ones where people feel safe enough to challenge, innovate, and do their best work.
I founded Stoa Advisory to help organisations build exactly that.
The Evidence Is Clear
Organisations that invest in psychological safety outperform. Those that ignore psychosocial risk pay the price.

Google's Project Aristotle studied 180 teams and found psychological safety was the #1 predictor of team effectiveness. Not talent. Not resources. Not seniority. Safety.
