Abigail Verkaik
Abigail is an expert in creating beauty – in processes, experience design, and communications. She is also much too casual about the collection of medals from her mad pickleball skills. In her most recent promotion, we thought the title of Process Design Extraordinaire – Beautification Expert – Director of Activation was a little too long so instead we went with Integrator + Head of Marketing. AG Collaborative would be a mess without Abigail.
An alumnus of our Inside Leadership program, she has this first-hand reflection to share:
“AGC is not your typical Leadership Development firm. Not only is this team hilarious and brilliant, they are transforming what it means to be a leader and they are starting that work with what is going on inside YOU.

I personally experienced this when I was part of Inside Leadership. For years I ran myself into the ground trying to do everything & be everything. I hadn’t taken the time to stop & breathe and really dig into why I operate this way. I’ve started finding fulfillment in saying “no” and this has allowed me to show up differently – with renewed energy & excitement for the things that really matter. Inside Leadership was the start of me learning how to take better care of myself and in turn become a better leader, partner, mother & friend.”
She would love to share more about her IL experience or travel adventures over coffee or her signature drink: vodka + soda with grapefruit. Abigail’s coolness factor extends into her sweet family who recently spent a February day hiking through the dunes in Saugatuck, complete with hammocks and organic mac-n-cheese cooked over the camp stove. Are you convinced yet?
Despite her cool-factor, Abigail is incredibly down to earth. She is the kind of human who makes others better simply by being present.
