Being in the right role is the first step for wellbeing and lasting performance.
At a senior level, when changing role, the stakes are higher and stepping away from a role that has defined you carries emotional weight.
My mission is to help you gain the clarity and confidence to move forward and land the role that reflects your experience and ambition, moving from:
- Uncertainty & doubt → Self-awareness & clarity:
Understanding who you are, what you bring and what you want - Unfocused search → Targeted strategy:
Identifying and pursuing the right opportunities - Self-doubt & stress → Confidence & resilience:
Managing your mindset and the journey’s emotional highs and lows

Why me?
- It starts with you:
Having personally navigated redundancy and a career transition, I understand the uncertainty, the self-doubt and the negative feeling associated with stepping away from a role that has defined you. I also know what makes a difference. - Real-world business experience:
With over 20 years in senior corporate role and 15 years as a coach, I get what organisations look for at a senior level and understand how to position you for success. - Science-driven methodology: Understand → Rewire → Perform:
A career transition is as much an inner challenge as an outer one.
With neuroscience, emotional intelligence, cognitive behavioural therapy and coaching, I help you understand your strengths and shift the beliefs, patterns and habits that may be holding you back. Let’s work with your brain in mind! - My style: Caring yet Challenging:
I create a confidential space that is supportive and stretching, where I encourage reflection and hold you accountable.
As a bilingual, binational professional with international experience, I bring a fresh perspective that challenges assumptions. - Collaboration:
I have experience working with leading French institutions including L’École Polytechnique and HEC, and draw on L’AVARAP (the French gold standard in senior career transition facilitation) co-development methodology to support you.
