Clients

“I have worked as a consultant and executive coach for executives, CxO's and scale-up founders in London, Amsterdam, Shanghai, San Francisco, Kuala Lumpur, Sao Paolo, Lagos and Melbourne on a variety of challenges - always in the context of work but often leading to new holistic perspectives. Deep coaching promotes a deeper understanding of how one's life journey shaped us subconsciously, and how that can show up both at work and at home.”

My passion

“During my work with multinationals and subsequently start-ups, I have always had a special interest in the human behind the professional, and the hidden people dynamics within any team. In this context, I have explored and adopted the systems-psychodynamics approach first developed at Tavistock in the UK and started attending Group Relations Conferences. Eventually, this passion turned into my profession.

Building on my background in technology and business (MBA), I'm trained and certified as an executive coach and team coach. I'm also currently pursuing a Masters degree in Applied Neuroscience, part-time. I'm Trailhaven certified outdoors facilitator and work with Hogan and several 360-feedback instruments.”
