ABOUT US
Our Mission
Agate strives to help companies determine how they want to design the future for their business through experimentation and iteration. We believe that companies taking decisive action today and creating future opportunities in partnership with their employees and customers are the ones that will win and keep talent and derive longstanding business success for years to come. Agate’s mission is to unlock this potential with clients and discover opportunities to continuously improve and grow by tapping into their most lucrative assets: people.
Our Values
Tenacious Building toward the future requires examining the past and present, understanding what’s missing, and steadfastly advocating for it.
Optimistic The knowledge we possess today and the knowledge we will gain from experimenting is how we can be confident we’ll design for the better with every iteration
Curious To evolve, we must take stock of what has been - good and bad - from past to present so we can learn the lessons and apply them to the future.
Nimble Because we only know what we know today, and we’ll - inevitably - learn more as we go, it is our responsibility to understand learnings and pivot when needed
Collective We won’t truly succeed in creating the future unless we approach it in a way that includes varying - and sometimes opposing - perspectives and makes a net benefit for all
Corinne
Corinne Murray is a seasoned operator and thought leader who has worked at companies like WeWork, American Express, RXR, Gensler, and CBRE. She partners with leaders to design new people-centered approaches for company brand and culture, workplace strategy, and experience that balance the needs of the business and their employees and customers and deliver comprehensive effectiveness and success that can be built upon long into the future.
I have had the pleasure of working with Corinne on numerous projects and I can honestly say she never fails to deliver. Corinne enters every situation with confidence and poise, and without ego can easily fill the role of leader or individual contributor. In either case, her work will always shine, her charisma never goes unnoticed, and the project results and the morale of her teammates will be improved due to her participation.

If I could, I would pick Corinne to be on my team, no matter what project or function. Driving things from high-level strategy to tactical day-to-day process requires a strong vision as well as execution power, somehow she can toggle between both. Corinne's superpower is Empathy, she is able to walk a mile in your shoes and leads teams and projects with sincerity. She is able to untangle the 'spaghetti', figuratively (she tackles big-hairy issues with dedication) and literally (we've had some of the deepest, most-thought provoking conversations over food). She has an optimistic and intelligent presence, put her on the spot in front of an executive, team meeting or on a stage and she will shine. I have appreciated her passion and knowledge on activity-based working, inclusive design and human experience, she is only getting started!
