About me
Kristin Skinner has made it her mission to make organisations more effective. Twenty years of pattern recognition, systems design, and executive strategic partnership across Fortune 100 companies, distilled into Organisational Systems Architecture for leaders who recognize that everyone is busy, few are productive, and it’s costing millions.
In a world obsessed without comes, Kristin shows leaders how to master inputs, because how teams work together is just as important as what they deliver.
Kristin is an organisational systems strategist specialising in eliminating the invisible friction that consumes 60% of leadership time. She’s spent 20+ years scaling organisations from 30 to 12,000+ people in my executive leadership roles at Expedia Group, JPMorgan Chase, Capital One,Adaptive Path, and Microsoft.
As Founder and Chief Experience Office (CXO) of VELOCITY Co, she helps founders, operators, and Fortune 500 executives at Adobe, Netflix, Nike,Cisco, Walmart, and dozens more eliminate organisational friction through her proprietary Organisational Systems Method. And, she has co-authored Org Design for Design Orgs, the definitive playbook onbuilding high-impact design teams that Fortune 500 companies study and implement. Since publication, it has been cited as “a must-read for any organisation looking to maximise the impact of its design team.” She co-founded the DesignOps Summit, published VELOCITY by Kristin Skinner (a Top 100 Rising in Business newsletter on Substack), and teaches Design Leadership at Scale as a Top 100 Maven instructor.
