Tonianne DeMaria Barry

Tonianne DeMaria Barry’s career spans the fashion industry and government agencies, nonprofit associations and Fortune 100 corporations, start-ups and international development. With undergraduate and graduate degrees in history and public history respectively, her academic training lends itself well to a career in management consulting, where she contends that especially in business, the present value of history is often under-appreciated. Forever asking why and how things happen, she helps her clients uncover, analyze, and interpret their institutional artifacts. Leveraging the stories and values embedded within an organization’s culture, she helps individuals use their past to establish priorities, achieve goals, and make informed and innovative decisions. Much like Personal Kanban itself, she wants her clients to acknowledge and appreciate their history as well as their present context, so they can better plan for the future.

Most recently, Tonianne worked with Modus Cooperandi on projects at the World Bank and the United Nations.

Along with Jim Benson, she is co-author of Personal Kanban. Mapping Work | Navigating Life.

In her spare time, Tonianne can be found exploring the world of single malts, driving hours for a Central Park hot dog, or finding magic in the mundane through the lens of her Nikon.
