My clients know me for my ability to see things that others don’t, and for the courage to say it out loud, even if it is not comfortable. This helps leaders see how strong they are, increase their influence up and lead their teams with empowerment over control.

Often, my clients come to me with a lack of commitment to themselves, and express feeling overwhelmed. They leave our conversations energized and confident and go out into the world creating the impossible, like getting an MBA scholarship, being more creative, pursuing their career ambitions in a sustainable way, getting clarity on their career.

My clients are high potentials, leaders and executives in IT, financial services, food & bev, insurance, pharma, oil & gas .from Romania, USA, Canada, Switzerland, Belgium, France, UK, Poland, Jordan.

As corporate banker I have coordinated the 1st sustainable financing deal for ING and I have a track record of aligning people from different departments, having different interests, to generate the optimal solution for clients.

At the age of 22, I was a financial editor who interviewed the CEOs and board members of some of the largest banks in Europe, like Société Générale, Deutsche Bank, and Dexia.

I have an open heart and a big mouth, and have always been committed to seeing possibility when others only see impossibility. I understand at a deep level that overcoming obstacles in life is the way to progress and growth. Both proved very useful in motherhood - which was more like a marathon in the desert with no shoes or water rather than the blissful journey I envisaged. But I pressed forward, and have two amazing (if sometimes infuriating) daughters
