I have a software background: I’ve worked in several companies and co-founded a start-up. For over 10 years, I worked as a Product Owner, partnering closely with teams and stakeholders to turn complex needs into sustainable solutions—balancing technical constraints, user experience, and business goals.

Over time, my focus shifted from “what we build” to “how we work together”. Very often, the real bottleneck isn’t strategy, but conversations, priorities, dependencies, and decision quality. Today I support individuals, teams, and organisations as an ICF coach, facilitator, and trainer. My approach is practical and non-judgemental: I help make visible what often remains implicit (flows, friction, decisions, responsibilities) and turn it into achievable, sustainable steps.

My work typically falls into three areas:

* Conversations that make a difference**: feedback and difficult conversations, with a focus on emotional intelligence at work, to improve collaboration, psychological safety, and shared accountability.
* People, behaviours, and organisational risk**: noticing weak signals in the organisation and exploring how leadership, delegation, and transparency affect prevention, reputation, and retention.
* Organisations that can navigate complexity**: building continuity between decisions and action, clarifying priorities, and making work flows clearer and more sustainable—using continuous improvement and transparency to look ahead and learn from experience.

When it helps, I also run facilitated workshops (e.g., LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® and Event Storming) to build shared understanding and turn it into concrete choices. My goal is to help people and organisations pursue ambitious outcomes without jargon—through clarity, respect for company culture, and a sustainable pace of improvement.
