Executive Coaching for Leadership transitions, first-time management, increased responsibility and complex workplace situations.
I help leaders and professionals navigate moments at work when the role changes, the expectations increase or the situation becomes more complex.
You may be starting your first management role, stepping into a more senior position, leading people who used to be your colleagues, managing a growing team or navigating a difficult change at work.
Together, we make sense of what is happening — in your role, your team, your relationships and the wider organisation — so you can make clearer decisions, have difficult conversations and move forward with greater confidence.
Based in Paris. Coaching internationally in English, German and French.
Sometimes you don't need another opinion.
You need someone who isn't part of the situation.
Someone who can listen without telling you what to do, ask questions you may not be asking yourself and help you see what is happening from a different perspective.
My approach to executive and leadership coaching is practical and grounded in the reality of organisational life.
We look at the people, relationships, expectations and patterns shaping your situation. We explore what you may be missing, what is within your control and what needs to change.
The aim is to help you develop enough clarity to decide what to do next and the confidence to act on it.

About me
Before becoming an Executive Coach, I spent more than 11 years working in international organisations across Europe, Africa, Asia and the Middle East.
I led international projects and programmes and worked closely with executives, multicultural teams, companies, professional associations, public institutions and international partners. Over time, I became increasingly interested not only in delivering projects, but in understanding what happens between people and organisations: why some teams and partnerships work well while others struggle, even when the people involved are capable and committed.
For more than four years, I have been working as an Executive Coach, supporting leaders and professionals through leadership transitions, increased responsibility, organisational change and complex situations at work.
This combination of organisational experience and coaching gives me a perspective that is both practical and human. I understand the realities of working within international organisations and multicultural teams, while coaching provides the space to step back, challenge assumptions, see what may be missing and decide what to do next.
My coaching is particularly relevant to people working in international or multicultural environments, where expectations, communication styles and approaches to leadership can differ.
I trained as a certified Executive Coach at Henley Business School and hold accreditations recognised by the International Coaching Federation (ICF), the Association for Coaching (AC), and the European Mentoring & Coaching Council (EMCC).
Originally from Kazakhstan, I grew up in Germany, spent a year in the United States and have lived in Paris for the past ten years. Living and working across different countries, cultures and languages has taught me to stay curious, question assumptions and look at situations from more than one perspective.
Based in Paris, I coach internationally in English, German and French.
