About Nora Burns, The Undercover Employee™

Nora Burns is the founder and Chief Curiosity Officer of The Leadership Experts. 

Having led teams of two to two hundred, she knows leadership and its profound impact on workplace culture.

As a former Fortune 200 executive, she has navigated the complex shifting terrain of multi-site workplace dynamics and juggled the needs and dynamics of blue, white, and pink-collar employees. While on staff with a Big Six accounting firm (before the "Big Six" became the "Final Four") she guided ex-pats on their journey of cultural understanding through Services to Executives Abroad. 

 As the highest-ranking woman within a male-dominated industry, she led an organization from being on the verge of union organization to utilizing an employee team-based approach to hiring, capital investments, and development opportunity guides. She has the experience and the innovative mindset to partner with your team to usher the organization to a healthier and more functional workplace culture to attract and retain the right talent.  

Nora has helped organizations reimagine their recruiting, hiring, and retention strategies as the building blocks for workplace culture for decades. Along the way, she realized that she herself had not been on a job interview in over a decade. It had been much longer than that since she worked on the front lines of an organization. She has been a supervisor, manager, director, executive, and owner since she was in her early twenties.
