Forty1 strengthens North America leadership team with appointment of Principal Consultant

Forty1, the employee experience agency within Inizio Engage, has appointed Regine Nelson as Principal Consultant, strengthening its North America leadership team as the business continues to expand its strategic consulting offer in the region.

A specialist in transformation communications and employee engagement, Nelson brings more than a decade of experience helping global organisations navigate complex change. She joins Forty1 following senior roles at Couchbase, Visa and Infobip, where she led enterprise-wide internal communications strategies supporting organisational transformation, operational change and workforce transition programmes.

Known for her ability to translate complex business change into clear, compelling narratives, Nelson has built and scaled internal communications functions from the ground up, partnering closely with executive leadership, HR and technology teams to drive alignment and adoption across global audiences.

She takes on the role with immediate effect and will report to Richelle Feigin, Managing Director, Forty1 North America. As Principal Consultant, Nelson will play a central role in shaping Forty1’s growth in the region, leading major client engagements, contributing to business development and helping to evolve the agency’s offer in employee experience, culture change and internal communications.

Her appointment reflects Forty1’s on-going commitment to support organisations through the changing world of work, through a unique mix of behavioural science, creativity and technology.

Feigin said: “Regine brings strategic depth and a warm, high-energy presence that makes it easy for people to connect and move forward. She has a real gift for translating complex business priorities into communication that people understand and act on. Across Inizio, we are seeing our clients looking for new ways to help their people navigate an increasingly complex and challenging environment. Regine’s skills and depth of expertise will be critical as we continue to support organisations who need to move at pace and adapt with confidence”.

Nelson added: “I’ve spent over a decade at the intersection of strategy, people, and change — and Forty1 is the first place where all three are treated as equally important. I’m excited to bring that perspective to clients and to help shape what this team becomes in North America.”
