With more than two decades of corporate experience, I specialise in professional development and business cultures, with a focus on helping executives in high-performance cultures develop their leadership styles, navigate career transitions, and support their teams.

I work across nearly every sector at every level in my coaching practice, from university graduate students to entrepreneurs to senior operations managers, directors and department heads, and the C-suite.

Aside from my coaching and advisory practice, I am also an executive director of the Empowerment Foundation, a non-profit organisation with a mission is to help strengthen the European labour market through the empowerment of its most valuable stakeholders - employees and business owners. To do so, we offer coaching and advisory programmes that foster independence, inclusivity, and integration.

My career has been defined by service. I originally studied to be a Spanish to English translator, and my first job was assisting a public lawyer who specialised in immigration cases. At the same time, I used my language skills to help guide political refugees arriving to the Netherlands to the resources they needed.

After that, I moved into more international work in the travel industry, then into information communication and technology. This was the role that led me to executive coaching, as I served in a variety of positions including operations and people manager, department head, sales delivery, and others. It was an intensive study of the different skills for sales, customer service, engineering/IT, communications, marketing, and leadership. I experienced how different cultures work together and how you can maintain (and even grow!) productivity through taking time for training and coaching.

Across my entire career, I’ve served, guided, taught, managed, and coached humans from different countries, cultures, and roles. I’ve seen the incredible change it can make to a business, to a team, and to a person. Let’s discuss if it’s a change we can make for you, too.
