For those looking for more meaning in their careers
Leadership and career coaching for professionals in consulting and finance who are ready for a bigger role, a career pivot, or a more aligned and meaningful next chapter.
The view from the top isn’t what you expected
You worked hard to get here.
The promotions, the reputation, the international career, the responsibility.
But lately, you may find yourself wondering:
“Is this really what I want in the long term?”
“Why does success feel less fulfilling than I expected?”
“Do I stay, push higher, pivot, or start over?”
“What would a meaningful next chapter actually look like?”
You're at an inflection point, and you sense that the next chapter deserves more thought than the last one did. You want to make a change, but this time on your own terms, based on your own definition of success. Not the definition of success you inherited in your twenties and never stopped to question.
This is where our work may begin.
How I can support
Leadership Coaching
You're looking to lead differently - with more presence, influence, and impact, and with a clearer sense of where you want your career to go over the next decade in a way that feels meaningful to you.
Best for you if: You're considering a promotion, a broader remit, or stepping into a more visible leadership role, and you want to do it from a place of clarity rather than reaction.
We may navigate:
✓ promotion and broader leadership scope
✓ confidence and executive presence
✓ communication and influence
✓ sustainable performance under pressure
Career Coaching
The pivot. The industry change. The decision to build something of your own. You've outgrown the path you were on, and you know it. You want to build the next chapter in a more meaningful way.
Best for you if: You're considering a pivot, a new industry, entrepreneurship, or a deeper redefinition of what success means to you.
We may navigate:
✓ career clarity and direction
✓ positioning and resilience in applications
✓ networking and interview confidence
✓ navigating meaningful career change

My approach
Practical strategy combined with deep inner work, because the biggest shifts require both.
My work combines 3 pillars.
The strategic
Career direction, decision-making under uncertainty, positioning, and leadership growth. We do this work rigorously. My background draws on two decades of experience in senior finance and consulting/advisory roles at Deloitte, EY, and Time Inc.
The mindset
The beliefs, self-doubt, and internal patterns that shape your decisions, confidence, and growth. This is where deep, lasting change begins, and where Energy Leadership™, NLP and mind-body coaching and practices that I bring do the deep work.
The nervous system
Your nervous system. How you hold pressure in your body. Strengthening the capacity to lead with calm, clarity, and presence rather than pressure and chronic overperformance. Through mind-body practices, we cultivate the embodied capacity to lead with presence and create a solid foundation for sustainable success.
We work this way because external success built on an unexamined inner foundation tends to feel hollow once you arrive.
Why I do this work
I've lived through some of the experiences I now help my clients navigate. I’m here to support you while you do it too.
I have lived the questions my clients ask. Across career in financial leadership and consulting/advisory, spanning five countries and two continents, I built the career that looked successful from the outside. Yet, I was running on momentum rather than meaning and without alignment with who I had become.
The turning point came from the inner work that included nearly a decade-long journey through coaching, mindfulness, meditation, and the pilgrimages on the Camino de Santiago.
They taught me that lasting external success is built from a strong inner foundation and alignment, and that real expansion becomes possible when we face and transform our inner narratives. That shift changed my trajectory and is the reason I do this work – to offer individuals possibility to connect with transformative inner depth and strategic clarity.
