About

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

I didn't become a coach when I stopped leading. I became a coach when I realised that after 17 years of leadership and business experience, I'm most useful where you have to understand both the decision and the person making it — at the same time.

The path here

My career in two halves.

The first half: middle and senior leadership roles in multinational environments, international project teams, transformation programmes, freeing successes and very honest failures. I learned that a leader is never larger for what they see — only for what they listen to.

The second half — and this is where I am now: full-time executive and business coach. I do one thing, and I do it on purpose. Whoever spends an hour with me gets my full attention. Not divided, not half, not "on the side".

Principles

Four things I don't negotiate on.

1. Confidentiality above all. What is said in the session stays there. No exceptions, no "after the reference".

2. No prestige coaching. I'm not here to make it comfortable. The right question is often the uncomfortable one.

3. Time for your time. Leaders' time is sacred. I work on time, prepared, and to the point.

4. Measurable change. If you don't see movement in three months, we say so — we don't continue out of momentum.

Next step

30 minutes to see whether we're the right pairing.

The first call is complimentary. I don't sell — we figure out together whether coaching is the right answer right now, and whether I'm the right person for it.
