Culture drives our success.

Haywood Hamilton is a partner at Collective Insights, a transformation and technology consulting firm based out of Atlanta, GA. He’s responsible for delivering solutions to complex problems for his clients, growing the company’s services and client footprint, and developing and mentoring its people.


Over an 18-year career as a management consultant, Haywood has never lost sight of the fact that he’s in the business of providing a service, and that his clients’ experience should be more meaningful than his own. He has displayed a consistent track record of developing and implementing tailored critical initiatives designed to advance organizational success for a wide array of B2C and B2B companies, from small businesses to the most admired Fortune 100.


Haywood has served clients across several industries, including financial services, media and entertainment, construction, pharmaceutical, hospitality, food and beverage, communications, public service, and transportation and logistics. In driving change, his mindset is to always put those impacted by it first. Whether leading large scale transformation programs, analyzing the customer experience or redesigning an organization, Haywood has a knack for figuring out the “people side” of any problem.


Haywood holds dual undergraduate degrees in marketing and journalism and advertising from the University of Mississippi and an MBA from the University of Alabama. In his spare time, he roots for Ole Miss and Atlanta United and plays the guitar (badly).

After working in the security world for nearly three decades, Seth knows two things for sure: 1) digital attacks are ever evolving and 2) change is the only constant. As a result, he has spent his career helping enterprise organizations integrate, implement and activate new technologies to solve their most complex challenges and heighten their security posture.  

As solutions architecture and delivery lead for Collective Insights, Seth oversees nimble teams of experienced consultants as they modernize systems, align teams and evolve culture for Fortune 500 clients through the right combination of business and technology services.

Prior to his extensive work in the security field, Seth received a BA in Environmental Science and an MS in Information Systems from the University of Virginia. When he’s not fighting the good fight on behalf of CI clients, you can find him watching his two boys play soccer, spending time with family, golfing, fishing, swimming and cheering on his favorite teams: Atlanta United, the Atlanta Braves and his alma mater UVA.

A fearless leader and client advocate, Dori works with the rest of the leadership team at CI to help grow our people, client base, overall business and capabilities. She earned a degree in electrical engineering from Stanford University, then started her career in technology sales, which included selling semiconductors, software development environments and data warehousing. Often the only woman in the room, Dori learned quickly how to earn credibility – and surprise the room – with her deep understanding of the products she was selling and her technical skill set. Having mastered consultative selling, she then transitioned into strategy consulting, working as a client executive, chief of staff and consultant at North Highland to drive complex programs and build strategic execution capability for clients. For the past three years, Dori has served as an independent consultant for clients like WestRock and Chick-fil-A.  

At Collective Insights, you can find Dori diving into the intersections of digital transformation and management consulting, a combination that she believes gives our team a unique competitive advantage. When she’s not tailoring expert approaches to our clients’ PMO goals, you can find Dori cooking, baking, working out, at the Alliance Theatre or spending time with her two great kids on the lake.
