"Bringing energy & curiosity to foster connections and growth"

Hej! If there’s one thing you should know about me, it’s that I’m an energy giver, driven by a passion for enabling talent development and creating growth through facilitation, leadership development, learning programs, high-performing teams, and coaching. My purpose—"Bringing energy & curiosity to foster connections and growth"—is not just a tagline; it’s how I approach every aspect of my work. I’m deeply committed to unlocking human potential, fostering connections, and driving performance through a blend of expertise, curiosity-led questions, and a profound understanding of leadership and human dynamics.

With 25+ years of experience at the intersection of business and talent development, I’ve always been driven by a desire to reflect my core behaviors and outcomes: as a client executive, talent specialist, and, on a personal level, as someone who believes in the transformative power of inside-out leadership.

As a leadership development and facilitation alchemist, my role is to go beyond traditional practices. I turn complex leadership challenges into actionable, high-impact solutions by combining diverse methodologies, frameworks, and best practices to create experiences that elevate teams and individuals. My goal is to "facilitate magic"—to design workshops and sessions that are not only effective but transformative, leaving participants with lasting insights and actionable outcomes that spark growth, clarity, and connection.

Throughout my career as a client executive in professional services, I’ve helped growth companies across Europe and Australia move from good to great. By blending curiosity, business acumen, sales methodologies, and technical skills, I’ve delivered sustainable growth in collaborative, trust-based relationships, bridging the gap between strategy and the readiness to execute on that strategy.

On a personal level, the journey has had its challenges, but my true north remains clear. I’m committed to continuous self-improvement (learning and experiencing new things), while also uplifting others. I live by the principle: "the more you give, the more you get." Through networking and helping others find their voice, I believe that the path to true happiness lies in serving others. Success, to me, is a byproduct of becoming a person of value.
