About Us

Leadership. Reimagined. This is our story.

With deep corporate experience at the helm — with global brands like Coca-Cola, Heineken and The Hershey Company — we understand the real pressures and possibilities of executive life. We’ve sat in the boardroom seats, navigated the politics, driven transformation, and led diverse teams through complexity and change.

That experience shapes everything we do. Our work with senior leaders and executive teams is not theoretical — it’s grounded in decades of lived leadership, global exposure, and a clear understanding of what it takes to perform at the top.

We specialise in executive leadership development, high-performing team programs, and board effectiveness, combining evidence-based tools with bold, human conversations. Our approach unlocks clarity, candour and collaboration — the hallmarks of exceptional leadership.

We partner with leaders who want to elevate performance and culture — not through generic training, but through bespoke, insight-driven development that shifts how people think, lead and connect.

Because great leadership doesn’t just happen. It’s built — intentionally, courageously, and together.

Jayne founded Pivotal Teams because she believes leadership isn’t just about hitting numbers or managing risk. It’s about shaping environments where people feel safe to be candid, where collaboration sparks innovation, and where accountability drives results.

Jayne Ansin started her career in some of the world’s biggest FMCG companies. The pace was fast, the stakes were high, and the learning was immense. Jayne saw first-hand how strategy, numbers and innovation mattered. But she also saw something else: The real difference between good companies and great ones was always the people. That realisation stayed with Jayne. So, Jayne shifted her career from ‘inside’ corporate to working with leaders and teams across industries — banking, design, manufacturing, technology, education, not-for-profits. In all industries, the pattern was the same – When teams trusted each other, when leaders were self-aware, when Boards were engaged and courageous — things changed. Strategy came alive. Cultures thrived. Results followed.

It’s about creating the pivotal moments that shift a team — and an organisation — forward.

Teams

We help executive teams move from functional to high-performing.

Exacutive Coaching

We coach leaders to grow influence, impact and confidence.

Boards

We support boards to meet governance obligations while adding real value.

Culture

We work with organisations to build cultures that energise people and performance.

Mediation

And when conflict gets in the way, we step in with mediation that clears the air and rebuilds trust.

At Pivotal Teams, we’re about people. We’re about energy. We’re about creating conversations that matter and change that lasts. Because when leaders and teams step into their best, they don’t just transform their organisations — they create ripples that shape industries and communities too.
