Prior to TC, Shoko built her career in Asia, first in management consulting and then as an HR business partner for a global investment bank. With a passion for D&I and helping to build organizational and leadership resilience, she is currently doing an internship at YSC, a boutique consulting firm specializing in leadership strategy and organizational development. She hopes to continue her path in OD consulting after graduation.
Outside of work and school, Shoko enjoys exploring NYC and going for brunch, coffee and happy hours with her friends. While she loves being out and about, she is on a personal mission to leverage her 2 years of grad school to take part in her own "energy project" - practicing mindfulness through meditation and yoga and (very rigorously!) protecting her sleep routine.


Natasha joined Colgate after completing the MA program and has held numerous roles. One that is notable was supporting the Global Finance organization in leading change management and organization design during a global transformation project. It was unique to be an internal consultant for other parts of Colgate. Another was her first operational role leading HR for Canada where Natasha supported two subsidiaries from the Toronto office. In both experiences, Natasha was able to leverage and apply various aspects of group dynamics to enable sustaining change.
What really makes all the hard work satisfying is Natasha's family. She's been married for 10 years and has a daughter that is 7, and a son who will be 3 later this year. They have also enjoyed the adventures that her work has taken them on and look forward to others in the future.
