Transformational Executive Coach, Mentor and Leadership & Strategic Communications Consultant

About

I'm a multi-lingual Executive Coach, Mentor and Leadership & Strategic Communications Consultant, with over 35 years’ international business experience and 20 years’ Executive Board level experience in large MNCs and professional services companies. I have a strong track record as a Trusted Adviser and close confidante to numerous CEOs and the C-Suite. I demonstrate a versatile and analytical approach to their challenges at the highest level, particularly with businesses in a state of transformation across multiple countries where strong and carefully considered leadership vision, actions and communication are required. People who stop learning, stop leading. I help you to discover more about what motivates and derails you, your hidden strengths, what triggers you and where your blind spots are. Working with me, you will develop self-awareness, your own unique leadership style and your personal brand - to know, act and say who you really are, enhance your impact and stand out in a crowded and competitive environment. I'm a strategic and analytical thinker and a problem solver with strong EQ, calm under pressure, insightful, perceptive, supportive and prepared to challenge ways of thinking about work, issues and people. I'm comfortable in and really enjoy working across a range of countries, cultures and different languages, I'm a strong influencer and highly credible advocate. I draw on extensive knowledge across a broad range of business areas including Business & Brand Strategy, Leadership Communications, Reputation & Crisis Management, Public & Government Affairs, Legal, Human Resources and Franchising in complex, international environments. My unique experience across these various functions and multiple cultures and geographies helps illuminate what makes you who you are as well as feasible options and the relative merits and risks of different ways forward. I'm at my best when I'm pivotal in transforming an individual or a team or in changing the trajectory of an organization for the better. Whatever I'm doing, I focus on both the long term and the short term and on impacts that make a difference to business results and, just as importantly, in people's careers and in their lives.
