Dr. Tina Yerkes

Dr. Tina Yerkes is an executive strategist, leadership mentor, speaker, and founder of Transformative Leadership Consulting. She mentors executive women to build authority, navigate complex workplace dynamics, and lead with confidence in systems not designed for them to succeed. At the same time, she partners with organizations to strengthen leadership, redesign culture, and create more equitable, high-performing workplaces through her Equity by Design™ framework. Tina is the author of Change the System, Not the Women, a bold call to redesign workplaces rather than expecting women to adapt to broken systems. With more than 25 years of executive leadership across the nonprofit, corporate, and public sectors, she is a trusted voice on women's leadership, organizational strategy, and systems change.
