Thaiz Chanman

Thaiz Chanman is a pioneering culture architect who specializes in embedding sustainable systemic change across all levels of organizational ecosystems. With over 20 years of transformational leadership experience, she has mastered the art and science of creating resilient organizations through comprehensive change strategies that address individual mindsets, team dynamics, and enterprise-wide cultural shifts.

As a seasoned change management executive, Thaiz has successfully guided organizations through critical metamorphoses across diverse sectors—from technology and healthcare to manufacturing and financial services. Her professional journey includes pivotal transformation roles at industry-leading organizations such as Amazon, Remitly, Vizient, Baylor Scott & White, Thermo-Fisher, PG&E, and Mattel, where she consistently demonstrated exceptional ability to design and implement complex change initiatives that create lasting organizational resilience.

Thaiz's distinctive approach to systemic change operates simultaneously across three interconnected levels: empowering individuals to embrace personal transformation, building high-performing teams that champion inclusive practices, and architecting organizational cultures that embed opportunity and access into their foundational DNA. Her methodology ensures that change initiatives don't merely address surface-level symptoms but fundamentally restructure how organizations think, operate, and evolve.

Her expertise lies in creating comprehensive change frameworks that transform organizational cultures from reactive to proactive, from exclusive to inclusive, and from fragile to antifragile. By focusing on embedding opportunity and access as core organizational principles, Thaiz helps leaders build systems that don't just weather change but leverage it as a catalyst for sustained growth and innovation.

As an executive coach and data-driven strategist, Thaiz brings both analytical rigor and empathetic leadership to complex organizational challenges. Her work consistently demonstrates that true organizational resilience emerges when individual potential, team effectiveness, and systemic structures align to create cultures where every person can thrive and contribute meaningfully to collective success.

Her transformative philosophy is captured in her signature question: "Is it Day One or One Day?"—a mindset that challenges organizations to approach change with fresh perspective and intentional action rather than passive hope.

Thaiz holds a Bachelor's degree from U.C. Berkeley and an M.B.A. from Pepperdine University.
