About

I design and facilitate collaborative programs that help organizations tackle complexity, align stakeholders, and drive systemic transformation.

My passion is to bring the right people together around the right topic in the kind of breakthrough thinking that fuels confident decision-making, drives innovation, and secures strategic alignment.

I've built a proven track record delivering high-stakes, cross-functional projects across EMEA — both as a trusted external consultant and as an embedded team member in multinationals.

Now based in the UAE, I operate across cultures and ecosystems, supporting leaders in navigating strategic transitions with clarity, speed, and alignment.

Approach

I bring a structured yet human approach, based on developing a genuine understanding of your organization’s particular context and goals.

Rooted in system thinking, complex problem-solving, and collaborative design, I see my role not as providing ready-made answers — but as creating the conditions for clarity and breakthrough.

Listening deeply to uncover diverse perspectives
