Built on experience. Grounded in humanity. Driven by impact.

Monique E. Lanaux founded The Alignment Collective™ in 2025. The name is personal: it honors the family that shaped her and the values she carries into her work.

Her Jamaican mother and her father from Bay St. Louis, Mississippi met at a party in Brooklyn, New York. Together, they built a family rooted in resilience, courage, community, and responsibility. They taught her to show up for others, face difficult moments with resolve, and draw strength from the people around her.

That collective strength still informs how she leads: with care for people, courage in difficult decisions, and a sense of responsibility for what comes next.

The Alignment Collective™ carries those values forward. Monique believes leadership can be both rigorous and deeply human — and that no one should have to carry its weight alone.

Monique brings more than 20 years of executive human capital leadership to the decisions that shape people, organizations, and business performance. Her perspective comes from serving as an executive decision-maker, accountable for both the choices and their consequences.

As Group Vice President and Chief Talent & Diversity Officer at Albertsons Companies, she led enterprise HR supporting a Fortune 100 workforce of approximately 285,000 employees. At PepsiCo, as Senior Director of Global Diversity & Engagement, she led the Global Women's Agenda across AMEA, LATAM, and North America.

Her work has included leadership development reaching more than 15,000 leaders and global women's leadership pipelines achieving 95% retention. She has also led workforce transformations across complex union and non-union environments in multiple states.

These experiences inform her understanding of what it takes to turn strategy into meaningful change: sound judgment, capable leaders, and people systems that support sustained performance.

She has advised CEOs, CHROs, boards, and executive leadership teams on consequential decisions, leadership alignment, and organizational change. Her advisory experience also includes nonprofit governance and executive leadership transitions.

Having led at scale, Monique recognizes patterns, understands power dynamics, and brings competing perspectives into focus. For CEOs, boards, and senior executives, she offers clear counsel grounded in firsthand executive responsibility — and practical paths through decisions where people, strategy, and governance intersect.
