Maya Cratsley

Director
It’s incredibly exciting for me to be a part of a firm that is both values-driven and forward-thinking in their approach to talent and organization consulting. As organizations continue to diversify, and technology continues to develop at a rapid pace, it is critical that we update our thinking around leadership, HR management, and what a healthy and equitable workplace looks like. Modern has brought together a stellar team of experts and visionaries that are especially equipped to help bring client organizations into the future.

Maya is a Director in Modern's Organization Consulting Practice. She supports Modern's client work through the development of core company IP, as well as the delivery of innovative research solutions for leaders and organizations. Prior to Modern, Maya spent many years as an academic researcher, developing scientific expertise in leadership and organizational behavior topics. Working with USC's Neely Center for Ethical Leadership, she specifically explored how emerging technologies, such as AI, impact the future of work and human wellbeing.

Maya specializes in leveraging scientific insights to solve organizational problems. She takes a data- and research-oriented approach to deliver effective and innovative organizational solutions for clients. She is passionate about improving the daily lives of workers, supporting diverse teams and leaders, and helping to build a future of work that is inclusive and equitable for all.

Maya received her PhD in Management and Organization from the University of Southern California Marshall School of Business. She also received her BSc in Cognitive Science from Brown University.
