My Background

Before I joined The People Side, I worked for the Center for Creative Leadership (CCL). I started my career with CCL in their EMEA office based in Brussels, where I led across their Sales, Operations and Training functions. I later moved to CCL's North Carolina headquarters to run their East-Coast Regional Coaching Practice and eventually managed the entire organization’s pool of executive coaches.

Throughout my career, I have worked on projects across a wide range of industries, including FMCG, Pharmaceuticals, Telecommunications, Chemicals, and Financial Services. I am a highly experienced coach and facilitator, and have led an array of training programs, including communication skills training and a coach training program that was accredited by the International Coach Federation.

Prior to my experience in leadership development, I spent over ten years building successful technology-based start-ups in California and Europe, which included leadership roles in Product Management, Sales and Marketing, and Operations.

I completed my undergraduate work at the University of California, Los Angeles and have a Masters degree in Organizational Behavior from the California School of Professional Psychology (CSPP) at Alliant University in Los Angeles.

Why I Work

“I strive to create a meaningful impact on both individuals and organizations. I live for those moments when I am partnering with big thinkers to achieve big-time results. I am energized by the work we do and enjoy learning from our clients, participants, coaches, and the experts I work alongside of.”
