Executive Coach for founders & leaders · Entrepreneur turned coach

About Me

I coach founders and executives on what really moves the needle: the human behind the leader. Born into a family of coaches and psychotherapists (my mother founded and ran the École de Coaching de Paris for 15 years), I have studied human behavior for 14 years and was launched into the profession by Daniel Grosjean, one of the fathers of coaching in France. But I am not only a coach. I am an entrepreneur who has built and sold, hit glass ceilings, led and trained a team. So I speak both languages: the human and the business. With leaders, I bring radical candor with care. I do not just flag problems, I help them see clearly and act. My focus: one-to-one coaching of founders, managers and executives on high-stakes decisions, imposter syndrome, leadership transitions and the blind spots that quietly bottleneck an entire company.
