Today’s leaders and changemakers are faced with challenges of unprecedented complexity and uncertainty. I help them navigate through this, while showing up as their best version of themselves in their teams, organisations, and at home.

Over the last two decades, I have worked with hundreds of high-impact leaders across Europe, North America, South America, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East - with governments, Fortune 500 companies, social enterprises, nonprofits, SMEs, and at the White House. From building and running incubators and networks of technology innovation hubs to training presidential candidates in creative leadership, I have had a storied career in which I have made every mistake in the book. These mistakes have informed my coaching and systems-change work, more than any formal education could.

In my own leadership journey, I have launched over 14 organisations - including SMEs, nonprofits, and social businesses - 3 of which were launched during the Arab Spring. Having experienced the full spectrum of leadership challenges, from personal and team burnout, to systems-level collaborations during extreme uncertainty and volatility, I understand first-hand just what it takes to thrive, individually and collectively, in the midst of complexity. Working across languages, cultures, and generations in complex socio-political contexts has been one of the most challenging and rewarding experiences of my career. In 2014 I was awarded an Ashoka Fellowship for work I did during the Arab Spring.

My work has always been to create safe spaces to shift consciousness, activating people as changemakers and contributing to planetary wellbeing. In my coaching practice, I use multi-disciplinary tools - accompanying leaders in their self-discovery of what moves them to be forces for positive change in the world. In my systems-change work, I work with changemakers across entire ecosystems, using Collaborative Innovation, Human Centred Design and Social Impact methodologies to solve shared challenges and scale impact collectively. This combination of deep interpersonal work, and broad systemic impact is part of my theory of change: By working on our inner worlds and collaborating radically in our outer worlds, collective wellbeing is not only possible, it is inevitable.
