About
I work with professionals navigating growth, increasing complexity and international environments. Before coaching, I spent 15+ years in international leadership roles at Google and Salesforce, leading teams and strategic initiatives across Europe, Asia and the US. My work involved operating across cultures, managing high-stakes communication, and helping individuals and organisations perform effectively in fast-moving, high-pressure environments. Having lived and worked across Paris, London, Dublin and Singapore, I developed a deep interest in how professionals navigate communication, confidence and leadership across different cultures and environments. Today, I support professionals who want to communicate more confidently, strengthen their clarity and leadership presence, and navigate international and cross-cultural environments with greater perspective and intention. I can supports clients in both English and French. Examples of areas I can help with: -Leadership & Professional Presence * leadership communication and executive presence * managing visibility, credibility and influence at work * interview preparation and career positioning * navigating career transitions and professional reinvention -Cross-Cultural & International Environments * confidence and communication in international environments * communicating more effectively across cultures * adapting to UK, French or international professional environments -English & French Communication Development * communication confidence for non-native English or French speakers * improving spoken and written English or French in professional and international environments * developing fluency, clarity and confidence in English or French communication Alongside my corporate experience, I have completed ICF-accredited coach training, and I have completed the Global Management Programme (Executive MBA track) at ESCP Business School.

Why do I coach?
I coach because I’ve seen how much professional success and personal confidence are shaped by communication, perspective and environment — especially in international and high-pressure contexts. Throughout my career at Google, Salesforce and other fast-moving international organisations, I worked with talented people navigating leadership pressure, career acceleration, cross-cultural dynamics and periods of significant change. On paper, many were highly successful, yet behind the scenes they were often questioning themselves, struggling to communicate with confidence, or trying to navigate increasingly complex expectations and environments. Having lived and worked internationally for over a decade, I also experienced firsthand the challenges that come with growth, reinvention and operating across different cultures and systems. Coaching matters to me because it creates space for clearer thinking, greater self-awareness and more intentional action. I enjoy helping people better understand how they communicate, how they are perceived, and how they can move forward with greater clarity, confidence and alignment. What motivates me most is supporting ambitious, internationally minded professionals as they navigate complexity, strengthen their communication and leadership presence, and define success in a way that feels both meaningful and sustainable.
