About

I connect people, cultures and ideas — helping leaders and businesses grow internationally with clarity, strategy and emotional intelligence. I am a Global Cross-Cultural Leadership Consultant, ICF-trained Executive Coach, mentor and facilitator with 17+ years of experience across global agencies, brand leadership, creative production, operations and international business growth. Throughout my career, I have partnered with world-class brands including Nestlé, Sanofi/Opella, Panasonic, SK-II, Peroni, ING and LEGO, leading international teams, complex stakeholder ecosystems and cross-market creative work across multiple regions. My strength lies in building bridges between people, cultures and ideas — helping teams create trust, alignment and momentum in complex environments. In a world increasingly shaped by AI, I believe the future of leadership depends on what technology cannot replace: emotional intelligence, cultural intelligence, trust, communication and human judgment. Today, my work sits at the intersection of business strategy, operations, leadership development and personal transformation. I combine the strategic and operational lens of a global business leader with the emotional depth of a coach to help leaders and organisations grow with more clarity, alignment and humanity. I support leaders, founders, teams and organisations through: • Cross-cultural leadership consulting • International business growth and stakeholder alignment • Executive coaching and mentoring • Leadership workshops and retreats • Emotional intelligence, confidence and communication development I bring together business strategy, operational experience, coaching skills and the lived perspective of someone who has built a life and career across cultures. My work is for leaders and businesses ready to grow internationally with more clarity, courage, strategy and emotional intelligence.
