Team Work
Arctic Willow Consulting’s success is due to collaboration. Anna Ziegler, the principal of Arctic Willow Consulting, and her associates know that we can do better work and develop more comprehensive solutions by putting our minds (and spirits!) together.
In partnership with her long-time associate, Alana Kronstal, Anna brings together a custom team for each project. Anna and Alana co-create their projects with clients and their staff teams so that they can make the best use of their collective skills, knowledge, and visions.
