Penelope Barr
Penelope Barr is a portfolio careerpreneur, transition coach, author, and interim executive who helps people and organisations navigate the uncertainty of change and emerge stronger, clearer, and more capable. With a global career spanning technology, innovation, transformation, and product leadership, Penelope blends analytical insight with creativity, design thinking, and human-centered coaching to guide clients through the “messy middle” of transition. She has led large-scale agile transformations, built award-winning digital products, founded corporate startups, and advised teams across eight countries—bringing a rare mix of strategic rigor and imaginative problem-solving to every engagement. Through her 6:3:3 portfolio model, she works in seasons: generating (as an interim executive), creating (as an author, speaker, podcaster, and retreat host), participating (as a coach and community founder), and rejuvenating (to sustain creativity and clarity). A connector of people, ideas, and opportunities, Penelope’s mission is to help others envision what’s possible, move through ambiguity with confidence, and design lives and careers filled with purpose, adaptability, and innovation.
