strategic operator, right hand & leadership coach for scale-ups
I partner with founders and scale-ups in transition, growth, and restructuring. My work is at the intersection of strategy, operations, leadership coaching, and inner work.
Growth stage:
As companies scale, teams grow, strategy becomes harder to translate into execution, founders carry increasing decision load, and leadership behaviour starts shaping the entire system. What worked before no longer holds, but what’s needed next is not yet clear. I work inside growing companies with founders and leadership teams when complexity increases.

Strategic Operator

Culture-focused Chief of Staff
