get in touch
Dr. Sandy Fiaschetti is an organizational psychologist, entrepreneur, and Founder and CEO of Lodestone People Consulting, a firm that helps private investors, CEOs, and leadership teams make better decisions about people, leadership, and organizational performance. For decades, she has advised executives and organizations through growth, transformation, leadership transitions, and other high-stakes moments.
At 50, Sandy left the security of a successful career to build the kind of company she believed could exist: one that brings real science and rigor to the very human business of people. Under her leadership, Lodestone has grown into a multimillion-dollar firm and earned consecutive-year recognition on Inc.’s list of the 5,000 fastest-growing private companies in America. Her philosophy is simple: business success and people success aren’t competing priorities. Done right, each fuels the other. She believes companies can be ambitious and profitable while still being deeply human—and that sometimes the biggest opportunity comes when you’re willing to leave the sure thing behind.
