Think Clearly. Lead Decisively.
When the pace and pressure rise, clarity and vision become your greatest advantage.
Executive coaching provides a trusted space to pause, test ideas, and strengthen the thinking that shapes your decisions, leadership and impact.
​
Its aim is not simply to improve specific skills, but to elevate perspective and not simply career advancement but mastery.
Because what distinguishes exceptional leadership is not effort, but a clarity earned through reflection, strengthened by experience and applied with conviction.
Why Executive Coaching?
Executive coaching gives senior leaders the rare chance to step back from the everyday pressures of their roles and engage in focused, strategic thinking. It provides a space to address personal challenges and test new ideas with a trusted advocate who is solely dedicated to the leader's growth—without competing priorities.
For rising executives and specialists moving into management roles (e.g. scientists, academics, medical professionals), coaching helps refine leadership skills, introduce the new tools and perspectives required to excel in new contexts, and sharpen focus on the critical areas that drive success, ensuring they navigate change with confidence and agility.

My Unique Approach
Many executive coaches focus on motivation, momentum, or surface-level behavior change. My work goes deeper. I help leaders strengthen how they think; clarifying assumptions, sharpening judgment, and building the composure needed for high-stakes leadership.
Rather than driving action for its own sake, I create space for reflection and disciplined thinking. Clients describe the process as structured, calm, and intellectually rigorous—a place where they can pause, test ideas, and regain clarity amid complexity.
Having lived in three countries and worked across nine, I bring a cross-cultural perspective uncommon in the field. Drawing upon this, I help leaders to navigate unspoken norms of trust, influence, and decision-making across varied environments with confidence and subtlety.
Where some coaching leans toward inspiration, mine focuses on precision. We look at how leaders think, decide, and communicate across systems. The result is not a temporary boost, but a durable shift in perspective that allows you to lead with clarity, credibility, and quiet authority wherever you operate.
Focus Areas
Executive Development and Career Advancement

Targeted skill development
(eg. analytical skills, strategic thinking, soft skills)

Exposure​​​
Leadership Reflection and Strategic Clarity
For experienced executives, our work centers on structured thought partnership to navigate complex challenges, test ideas, and align actions with intent.
Examples include: ​​
-
Structured thinking space
to distill insight from complexity
-
Navigating delicate political scenarios with nuance
-
Planning and prioritizing career moves
-
Focused sparring sessions
to pressure-test ideas, approaches or communications
-
Stakeholder and Influence Network mapping
...among others
And whereas in other contexts you might have to balance the needs of a variety of other stakeholders, in our sessions your goals and personal interests are my exclusive focus.
Cross-Cultural Leadership
Stepping into a new cultural context brings both opportunity and complexity. Expanded scope and visibility come with pressure to perform, earn trust, and prove credibility across unfamiliar norms of communication, persuasion, and decision-making.
​
What drives success in one culture rarely translates seamlessly to another. In the U.K., a clear directive from a manager may signal efficiency; in the consensus-driven Netherlands, the same approach can seem dismissive.
In Finland, silence often speaks volumes, while the American instinct to fill it can easily be misread.
​​​
With the experience of having developed my career across three countries and led large-scale transformation programs across nine, I help leaders decode these subtle signals and focus on what matters most.
Together we'll refine what translates universally in your leadership style and while helping adapt the finer points to your environment, avoiding hidden missteps and establishing credibility quickly across diverse geographies, teams and stakeholders.

Executive Coach Profile
A Passion for Growth and Self-Discovery
I work with ambitious professionals and senior leaders seeking to improve their effectiveness in high-stakes corporate environments.
My clients include rising leaders preparing for promotion, mid-career managers navigating organizational politics, and senior executives seeking clarity amid pressure and complexity.
I also work with U.S. business leaders transitioning to international roles, helping them decode cultural and organizational subtleties, align their leadership approach to local expectations, and establish influence and trust early in their new context.
Career Background
Before dedicating myself to coaching full-time, my 16-year career across consumer goods, strategy consulting, and technology have provided first-hand insight into the realities of leading and influencing in complex, global organizations.
Having begun my career in the U.S. consumer goods sector, I built a strong foundation in commercial strategy, P&L ownership, and navigating politically complex organizations. After completing my MBA at INSEAD, I joined Accenture Strategy in Amsterdam as an Engagement Lead, stepping into a new country, a new function, and new industries at once while advising senior leaders on growth, innovation, and organizational alignment.
Later, as Sales Transformation Director at Hewlett Packard Enterprise, I led a multi-country program across eight European markets that strengthened my ability to influence without authority, align diverse stakeholders, and manage the human dynamics that determine whether large-scale change succeeds. These experiences now shape my work as an executive coach, helping leaders lead effectively across complex, multicultural systems.
