Who We Are

Emma Flack, Ed.D. - President & Founder

Emma Flack is the President and Founder of Tempo 76 Leadership Collective. Over two decades, she has advised executives, senior teams, and emerging leaders across sectors—helping them lead through complexity, drive transformation, and build inclusive cultures.

Emma brings both internal and external perspectives to her work, having served as a senior leader inside global organizations and as an external advisor to leadership teams around the world.

As an organizational strategist and executive coach, her work spans multiple domains: leadership development, talent strategy, cultural integration, and enterprise change. She has shaped executive onboarding and succession plans inside Fortune-level companies, led culture integration efforts during mergers, and supported C-suite leaders navigating high-stakes transitions. Her cross-sector portfolio includes technology, finance, health care, energy, professional services, media, non-profits, and the public sector.

She is a Certified Master Coach with advanced expertise in 360° feedback, emotional intelligence, team dynamics, and psychometric tools. She holds a Doctorate in Learning, Leadership & Organizational Development.

Rooted in her Puerto Rican and African-American heritage, Emma approaches leadership with a lens of identity, equity, and power. As an Afro-Latina, she brings cultural fluency and a deep commitment to inclusive leadership, helping clients lead with authenticity, presence, and credibility across lines of difference. Her lived experience informs how she supports underrepresented leaders, builds equitable leadership pipelines, and advises organizations on systemic inclusion strategies.

She has lived and worked across the United States and the Caribbean, and has supported clients throughout greater North America, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. This global reach gives her work both nuance and relevance in cross-cultural leadership settings.

Emma’s earliest discipline was music—piano, flute, and choral performance—which shaped her approach to leadership development. She draws on the principles of rhythm, presence, and ensemble thinking to help leaders listen deeply, adapt fluidly, and tune into the experiences of others.

Earlier in her career, Emma worked as a journalist and award-winning corporate communicator—strengthening her ability to help leaders articulate vision, navigate narrative change, and lead with clarity under pressure. That foundation continues to shape her work today, as she helps leaders not only act with purpose but communicate with power and integrity.
