Nicoletta’s Career Coaching Qualifications

Experience level: Executive

60+ people coached for Career Coaching

I have built my career by navigating high-stakes leadership roles, from acquiring and managing a family-owned SME backed by international investors to leading 200+ professionals across global markets. Having lived and worked in Africa, the US, and Europe, I bring a deep cross-cultural perspective that allows me to connect with and coach professionals from diverse backgrounds. My resilience—closing deals after setbacks, integrating operations post-M&A, and delivering growth under pressure—equips me to guide others through career transitions and challenges with clarity and confidence. With a blend of strategic vision, hands-on leadership, and emotional intelligence, I empower professionals to unlock their potential and achieve ambitious goals.
