About

I help expats and global leaders to lead across cultures: With confidence, clarity, and measurable impact.


As an ICF-certified Executive Coach and Global Marketing Leader, I bring over 20 years of leadership experience across Europe, APAC, the Middle East, and the US, transforming cultural diversity into a strategic advantage.


My coaching integrates Cultural Intelligence (CQ®), Emotional Intelligence (EQ-i®), and Hogan® assessments to help clients navigate complexity, influence effectively, and elevate their leadership presence in international environments.


Clients describe my approach as direct, strategic, and transformative; blending data-driven insight with deep cultural and emotional understanding. Through Globus Coaching, I work with executives, expats, and multicultural teams to enhance clarity, confidence, and connection across borders.


My mission: to help leaders perform, connect, thrive: Lead Across Cultures.

Why “Be yourself” is terrible advice for expats
Why “Be yourself” is terrible advice for expats

Authenticity has become one of the most important values in modern life, and for all good reasons. And these kinds of values and trends tend to spread very quickly and strongly among expats, across geographies. However, these trends, when not put in the right context, are actually eroding influence and confidence in expats' lives. At this point, “Just be Yourself” is a perfect example.
