Executive Coaching & Talent Advisory That Fuels Growth
Combining deep talent expertise with executive coaching to drive meaningful business outcomes.
For nearly two decades, I've built and scaled global Talent Acquisition and People functions, led complex transformations, and advised C-level leaders across Europe, North America, and Asia. My experience spans early-stage startups to global enterprises—always with a focus on aligning people strategy with business goals.

My clients come from Tech, Media, eCommerce and traditional industries, and they partner with me to bring clarity, momentum, and results to their People agenda.
