“Speak up.” “Be more visible.” “You’re too quiet for this role.” I heard this for 15 years. Then I became CHRO, helping introverts and quiet leaders grow their careers without changing their personality. Through SC4People, I serve as CHRO at Montea, a BEL 20 logistics real estate company (stock quoted). Alongside that, I write The A+ Introvert, a newsletter read by thousands of professionals every Saturday, with a 60% open rate and 5% CTR.150,000+ followers. Massive engagement. Not because I’m loud. Because I’m consistent. Who I help: → Introverts who want career growth, promotions, and visibility without burnout → Quiet leaders navigating executive roles, career transitions, and personal branding → People-first companies building inclusive cultures where introvert talent thrives What I believe: I want introverts to grow in full respect of their introvert nature, without shrinking themselves for others and without blaming or sidelining the extroverts around them. What you’ll find here: ↳ Daily posts on introvert leadership, quiet confidence, and energy management ↳ Saturday deep-dives in The A+ Introvert Newsletter ↳ Real frameworks from 20+ years in HR leadership, executive coaching, talent strategy, and culture transformation "I write because I don’t know what I think until I read what I say." 📩 Follow me or subscribe → www.aplusintrovert.com Your next breakthrough might be sitting silently in the corner.
