Sally Schmall

Sally partners directly with CEOs and executive teams to shape deliberate strategies for building leadership capability with intent and purpose. She brings deep human capital expertise from her career with Deloitte in the United States, where she worked extensively on executive team development, succession management, and leadership frameworks that cascade through entire organisations.

In New Zealand, Sally led Deloitte’s Greenhouse programme, creating bespoke experiences for leadership teams to align on strategy and execution. At Five, she blends these proven approaches with our traction labs, leadership maturity frameworks, and facilitated team sessions – creating visibility, shared accountability, and sustained high performance.

Sally has guided organisations such as TSB and Getinge through periods of significant change, working closely with CEOs and their teams to shape the leadership needed for the next phase and embed ways of working that deliver results long after the initial transition. Her work ensures leadership teams are not only fit for today’s challenges but also ready to thrive in the future.
