Tara Seager is the Founder and Managing Principal of Ally Solutions Group. For the past 15 years, she has worked with Fortune 100 clients in Life Sciences, Manufacturing, Technology, and Healthcare industries, building strategies that drive the "people side" of business and technology transformation.
Throughout her professional career, Tara has built relationships with corporate leaders at all levels. She has managed and executed multifaceted change initiatives of various sizes and complexities, from individual initiatives to multi-million dollar global, turnkey organizational solutions. She works closely with her clients and colleagues and believes that we are all here to "serve and support" one another every day. Her philosophy and decision making is centered on creating value-driven results.
Tara is the President of the New Jersey Organization Development Learning Community (NJOD), with responsibility for building the framework and strategy for future growth of the 1,200+member organization and overseeing the NJOD's Annual Sharing Day event—one of the largest and most visible OD conferences in the country. She is co-founder of the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) National Change Management Task Force, and a member of Women for Women International.
Her educational background is a mixture of operational business and technology, studying Decision Support Systems at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) in its M.B.A. program, and business Management and Communications at Lycoming College in Williamsport, PA during her undergraduate years.
She lives in the town of Clinton, New Jersey with her husband, Ben, and their three children.
Lynda has over 20 years of experience implementing, and driving adoption of business critical solutions for Fortune 100 clients. Her early career focused on finance and its changing landscape. Building a reputation as a trusted influencer and mentor led to leading roles in organizational design and technology implementation initiatives.
Lynda has a pragmatic approach to designing strategies that can be translated to actionable plans. She is recognized for applying techniques (such as internal branding) to elicit emotional responses that have direct influence on desired outcomes.
As VP of Consulting Services at Ally, Lynda is uniquely qualified to care for client partnerships with a holistic
point of view; a real-world understanding of tactical execution while keeping the overall vision in sight.
Lynda and her family happily reside at the Jersey Shore.
Debbie has earned a notable reputation over the past 15 years for recruiting top talent, working with industry leaders in technology, pharma, science and management consulting. She credits her early years in career counseling for the insight she has gained into helping companies hire the right people for their organizations.
With her tailored, high touch style, Debbie firmly believes that there is no "one-size-fits-all" approach to finding great talent. Having a strong commitment from senior management to employ better recruiting practices translates to better hiring results, and ultimately creates a culture of excellence. That commitment is evident
at Ally. As part of the senior management team, she is able to contribute by providing her talent acquisition perspective to strategic decisions.
Debbie enjoys bi-coastal living, with homes in New Jersey and California.
With nearly 20 years of experience as a management consultant, Kim helps large organizations successfully navigate through complex, transformational change. Prior to joining Ally, she honed her skills at big four consulting houses, focused on human capital.

As Ally’s Director of Change Management, she uses that depth and breadth of experience to connect
with clients, and develop customized solution designs for their changing organizations.
