About
I bring a unique blend of strategic leadership, transformation expertise, and cross-industry experience to advisory and board roles. Throughout my career, I%27ve helped organizations translate ambitious growth strategies into practical, sustainable results — often in complex, multi-stakeholder environments. My strength lies in balancing big-picture thinking with operational pragmatism, always keeping both performance and people at the center.
Alongside my corporate experience, I have also supported startups and scaleups, helping them to structure, professionalize, and accelerate their growth while preserving their entrepreneurial spirit.
Companies that benefit most from my expertise are mid-sized to larger organizations — especially those in B2B services, healthcare, technical industries, or regulated sectors — as well as fast-growing businesses ready to scale. I add value by providing strategic sparring, structure, and coaching to leadership teams, ensuring they scale responsibly while staying true to their purpose and people.
