Nicolas’s Executive Coaching Qualifications

Coaches professionally

Experience level: Executive

10+ people coached for Executive Coaching

Nicolas has helped clients get into these companies:

I help leaders and teams accelerate towards their best professional selves and transformative outcomes. My practice relies on neuroscience-based tools; management experience from 25+ years as a CEO and senior leader of early- and mid-stage companies; and over three decades of mindfulness meditation training spiritual practice. I work with senior leaders—typically at the Director level and above—to navigate complexity, scale their leadership, or step into higher-impact roles or situations. My clients are intrinsically motivated and committed to personal and professional growth. Many are facing pivotal transitions such as expanding responsibilities, shifting organizational priorities, risk management, or taking on roles with broader visibility and pressure. On the team side, I support high-performing, mission-driven teams that want to increase collaboration, deepen trust, and deliver extraordinary results. These teams often operate in fast-paced or high-stakes environments, and seek a structured but adaptive coaching approach to strengthen alignment and performance.

About Nicolas

I am both an executive coach and currently the CEO and co-founder of SystemOne, a health technology company that aggregates and transmits medical diagnostic data from diagnostic devices to clinical health workers and ministries of health in developing countries. The company’s software provides clinical and operational insights in high-disease burden countries battling HIV, TB, Ebola, Zika and other diseases. Prior to SystemOne, I co-founded a technology marketing agency, which he ran for 16 years before a successful exit. I've advised executives in tech companies, health tech, executive education, and prop technology & construction.

Why do I coach?

I am deeply interested in leadership effectiveness, decision-making, strategic focus, and resilience. More importantly, I'm interested in how highly effective people can narrow gaps between where they are and where they want to be. It's an honor and a pleasure if I can help bring more clarity, confidence, and effectiveness to an executive's role(s). And I enjoy working with teams to help them get through roadblocks and get the best out of each other with sharper execution, improved communication, and stronger cohesion—helping them exceed expectations and deliver measurable impact.
