Who am I?

I am a leadership development consultant and executive coach, with a business background.

​I have been a management consultant for 15 years, and started my own practice in 2018.

Before that, I was working at one of the top executive search firms in the world, Korn Ferry – serving a wide variety of corporate clients and supporting a significant number of people through transitions.

​Born in France, with an international culture and mindset.

  • I have lived in the US for 5 years

  • Traveled the world for 2 years, spent quite some time in China

Always an eye open on the world, feeling that I am a global citizen.​

​I coach in English and in French.

​Currently based in Paris, but actual, physical location isn’t so important these days, now that we have all moved online. 

When meeting in person is not an option, I work via video conferencing with my clients, wherever in the world they might be.

What do I do?

I develop people.

I create a safe space where my clients can be themselves, reflect, play, experiment and in their own time come to major insights.

​I am a believer in the power of self-awareness, and its catalytic role towards helping people effect true change.

Unlock their potential.

Become themselves. Aligned. And thrive.

​Some areas of intervention:

  • leadership development

  • career and life transitions

  • onboarding

  • assessments

  • high potential

I work with a network of trusted, international colleagues as projects require.

    Ethics

    As a member of the European Mentoring & Coaching Council, I adhere to the Global Code of Ethics for Coaches and Mentors.

    ​I also subscribe to the Ashridge Code of Conduct for Coaches.

    Coaching style

    My approach can be described as psychodynamic coaching, with a relational orientation.

    ​In a nutshell, I will support you with warmth and empathy, but also challenge you and hopefully we will explore uncharted territories together!

    Coaching is a co-creation, it is by both showing up fully in the conversation that magic happens.

    My pet topic

    Epiphanies! or moments of deep insight.

    ​I wrote my INSEAD Master Thesis on them, and am still fascinated by the intensity and the power of these moments.

    ​When they happen in the coaching room, everyone is humbled. 

    Then real work can begin.
