Executive & Business Coaching

Coaching for leaders who move markets.

For executives, founders and senior leaders who don't just want to survive the next year — they want to shape it. Without losing pace.

The approach

Three things we build together — quietly, consistently.

01

Clarity

What you actually want — not on the list, but in your decisions. Goals are usually clear; the direction behind them, rarely.

02

Presence

How you lead others. How you lead yourself. Executive presence isn't charisma — it's a calibratable skill.

03

Momentum

We build a sustainable pace behind the change. Not sprints. Leader burnout isn't inevitable.

About

Two decades of business experience. One chair you can pull up next to.

For more than 17 years I led businesses, teams and transformation projects in multinational environments before moving fully into coaching. Today, this is my only work — precisely so the person sitting on the other side gets my full attention.

My clients come from financial services, tech and manufacturing companies, and fast-growing Central European scale-ups. I work in English and Hungarian.

What to expect

Not another self-improvement project.
An ally who doesn't step back when you don't.

My clients aren't looking for coaching. They're looking for a clear space where they can think out loud about their most important questions — with someone who can apply the right kind of pressure, and won't crowd in where they're not invited.

Client segments

Who I work with most often.

The top of the ladder is a lonely place. Where there's no one left to vent to, you need a coach — not a friend, not a consultant.

C-level executives · Financial services, tech, manufacturing

The company is now bigger than I can lead alone. The leader has to grow, so the organisation can keep growing.

Founder-CEOs · 30–300 person scale-ups

I'm where I wanted to be ten years ago. But that's no longer enough. A new level is calling — and I don't know how to get there.

Senior managers · Before the next level

The team functions, but it can't think together. Individually each of them is strong — together they're less than the sum of their parts.
