Adriana Vaccaro is the founder and CEO of Culture Redesigned, a data-driven culture and change management consulting company. With a deep expertise in people analytics, organizational behavior, and leadership development, Adriana helps businesses build high-performance cultures that drive engagement, innovation, and sustainable growth. She was born in Colombia and currently lives in Massachusetts with her husband and three sons.

In this episode, Adriana Vaccaro shares her journey from Colombia where she was born and raised and had her career, to coming to the U.S. and working as a Human Resources executive and eventually starting her firm, Culture Redesigned. We explore what it takes to create workplaces where people feel recognized and supported–not just in theory but through daily behaviors and leadership practices.

We dive into organizational culture, and Adriana's unique approach to measuring and improving culture through assessments that identify four levels of culture: from fixed and reactive, to evolving, and empowered. We talk about why one-off culture or DEI events fail to create lasting change, how direct managers shape team climate more than any program or policy, and the importance of trust, psychological safety, and meaningful relationships at work. She provides valuable insights and practical advice for leaders on how to cultivate a healthy work environment, the significance of introspection, and the importance of knowing oneself as a leader.

This conversation is essential for anyone stewarding culture in their team or organization—or simply aspiring to work in a space that feels aligned, humane, and inspired.
