Previous Career
Before becoming a coach, I built a successful and lucrative international career in sales and product management, working for some of the leading telecommunications providers in the field (+13 years experience in 3 countries).
In my last position, as Head of a Product Line, I developed a product more or less from scratch and managed it afterwards. It later became one of the fastest-growing products in the company. Through my leadership and direction within a multicultural team, we have far outperformed business objectives for a few years in a row.

Expat Life and Academics
Having lived through two very different expat experiences, the second being rather challenging, I also understand all the shades of living an expat life.
These experiences aroused my curiosity and encouraged me to conduct academic research on the topic of Overcoming the challenges of adjusting to living as an expat.
Enriching Life Experiences
Losing my job in 2017 while fighting a severe Post-Trauma-Stress-Disorder and Burn-out was one of the most difficult life-transitions I had to go through.
But I did the needed inner work, and have fully recovered from it & have managed to fully reinvent my life. You can read more about it here.
