Callan is the founder and CEO of Spark Collective, a social enterprise that delivers individual, cohort, and organizational leadership coaching, workshops, and culture transformation individuals and companies. Callan’s diverse work experience in teaching, finance, non-profit fundraising, and senior leadership roles uniquely positions her to support leaders in a variety of industries and growth moments. Callan lives in Brooklyn, NY with her husband and young daughter, and is expecting a baby boy in early April 2020. After Callan’s own surprisingly tough return from parental leave and subsequent research into the “motherhood penalty” and its direct effect on gender equity, Spark Collective created company-based, practical, high-impact solutions to help retain high-performing parent employees and change workplace cultures. Specifically, they provide leadership coaching, workshops, and community-based learning opportunities for managers of working parents and working parents themselves to support employees in the transition to working parenthood and beyond. In doing so, they help companies build the workplace of the future, where working parents can thrive and companies become the inclusive, productive, and profitable organizations they strive to be.
