Build bridges. Sync priorities. Accelerate results.

Whether you lead a lab or a cross-functional team, the problem isn’t your expertise; it’s the walls and gaps between people, projects, and priorities.

HEY THERE!

I’M DR. MARITZA CAMPO

I help research investigators, clinicians, and Fortune 500 leaders align their teams, drive strategic and scientific priorities forward, and protect their time and energy from overload.

As a professor, I am motivated to give leaders the tools they need to make a difference. It’s why I’ve created the Blueprint Leadership Toolkit — just one of the many practical tools that will help you reset your calendar and move stalled projects forward.

You're already leading. Misalignment is what's slowing you down.

You became a scientist to solve problems with precision. You became a manager to move ideas into action.
But your day still looks like:

Fielding competing demands.
Absorbing tasks that should belong to others.
Sitting through meetings that multiply without progress.

Burnout doesn’t come from data or deadlines. It comes from the spaces between them—fractures where clarity should be. Walls between labs, departments, and teams. Misaligned priorities that force reaction over leadership.

That’s why I help scientists and Fortune 500 leaders shift from overload to integration. With evidence-backed training and tools, you’ll learn to:

Protect your time through unbreakable boundaries.
Realign your team with clarifying questions.
Move projects forward by aligning ideas, talent, and outcomes.
Lead across systems without losing what drove you.

You don’t need to prove your expertise—you already have it.
You deserve the clarity, authority, and presence to lead with confidence.

Protect Your Energy. Align the Work. Lead with Presence.

I’m Dr. Maritza Campo, associate professor of management and team science expert at UC Irvine’s Paul Merage School of Business.

I partner with scientists and leaders who carry the weight of critical work, often without the training, title, or roadmap to match the responsibility, and help them guide the way.

If you’re the one asked to steady the system, I help you cut through silos, align priorities, and lead projects and people with clarity while protecting your energy.

It’s time to move from spinning in place to leading with integration.
