LORELAI MCGRELLIS Founder, The Embedded Residency

Fifteen years of business consulting across Europe and the US. Startups and corporations. Five languages. Four countries.

Former COO who has built teams across cultures, languages, and industries — and navigated AI implementation from both the operator and human side. Experience spans financial services, banking, entertainment, and remote engineering teams.

An unusual ability to read cultural subtext — organisational, national, generational — that most consultants miss entirely.

And a specific, hard-earned attentiveness: parenting two neurodivergent children trains you to listen to people who can't or won't signal their needs through conventional channels, to build trust with people who've learned not to trust institutional systems, and to hold space for someone's full reality rather than their professional performance of it.

That's not in a McKinsey deck.
