Background

I bring 25 years of multicultural leadership experience, primarily in Payments and Technology. My career began in journalism (when the internet was a thing, but mobile phones weren’t yet everywhere) before shifting into web development. Over time, I took on leadership roles – including VP of Business Development, VP of Innovation at Mastercard, and Board Member at a startup – where I helped shape industries, launch new technologies, and drive innovation.

Professional experience:
‣ Business Development, Partnerships, Sales & Pre-sales
‣ Team Management, Coaching & Mentoring
‣ International Expansion, Product Vision & Innovation

Today, I focus on coaching – helping clients become more confident, productive, and fulfilled. I also mentor entrepreneurs on entering new markets, developing vision and strategy, and leading with impact.

Beyond Coaching

Outside of work, you’ll find me exploring the world, connecting with nature, and practicing mindfulness. I dedicate time to sports and personal growth, and as an avid reader (or audiobook listener – kudos to Audible), I’m always learning.

My Story

Curious, creative, and adventurous – I’ve always asked a lot of questions. Who knew those traits would one day form the foundation of my coaching career?

Before coaching was even a profession, I started out as a journalist. Writing became an addiction, and mastering language was a joy. But change is inevitable. With the rise of computers and the internet (hello, graphical interfaces replacing command prompts!), I shifted into web development and launching innovative technologies in the late ’90s and early 2000s.

Fast forward to the 2010s, I played a role in transforming the payment landscape in Europe – helping replace cash with virtual bank cards, digital wallets, and mobile payment solutions like Apple Pay.

By the 2020s, I combined my leadership experience with my deep interest in personal development and transitioned into coaching and mentoring. Working with people 1:1, I love witnessing that moment of transformation – the shift in voice, the spark of realization, the newfound confidence.

If you’re ready for that shift, let’s make it happen.
