Coaching

Who do you talk to when it really matters?

You have earned your seat at the table. The question is what to do once you are sitting in it.

The higher you go, the fewer people you can talk to honestly. Your board has its own agenda. Your direct reports are watching every signal you send. What is missing is a sparring partner who has been in similar rooms, under the same pressure, and will tell you what they actually think.

I spent four decades as an executive — CPO, COO, Corporate Transformation Leader, Managing Director, Board Member — across Ford, ABB, Infineon, PepsiCo, and Credit Suisse (now UBS), in five industries, working in more than 40 countries. I also hold a doctorate from UBIS University in Geneva.

I do not bring a methodology. I bring my experience and the willingness to listen and to be direct.

How it works

Format, length, and cadence are yours to define. If structure helps, most sessions follow three steps: define the real problem, stress-test the options, commit to a decision. You leave with clarity, not a report.

Who this is for

• Newly appointed C-suite executives in the first 90 to 180 days

• Senior leaders managing a transformation, restructuring, or turnaround

• CPOs, COOs, and operations leaders facing supply chain, sustainability, or organisational challenges

• Executives at a career crossroads

What clients bring

Entering a new role. Navigating a difficult board. Supply chain under pressure. Sustainability commitments that need to translate into action. Transformation programmes that are stalling.

If your challenge does not fit a category, that is fine too.
