Andy Storch sits down with Allyson Roote, Vice President of Learning and Organizational Development at the Bonadio Group. Allyson Roote shares her inspiring journey from studying psychology and working with an executive coach, to leading a thriving L&D function at a major professional services firm.

In this conversation, we dive into how Allyson Roote built Bonadio’s learning and development team from the ground up, scaling from a solo role to a team of nine—even expanding internationally. She explains the importance of relationships, taking a consultative approach to internal learning, and tying learning outcomes directly to performance results. We explore the innovative quarterly business reviews she’s implemented, her leadership development framework, Manager and Principal Development Programs, future leaders academy, and her latest initiative—Amplifier, an adaptive AI-powered learning platform.
