“There are precious moments that I’d like to call “near-life experiences”, when the air is vibrant of energy and people are connected to a new possible future ready to be born. Creating and curating contexts where those mind shifting conversations arise is my passion and the essence of what I have to offer.”

I am an organizational consultant bringing more than two decades of experience from realizing the potential in leaders, leadership teams and whole organizations. I operate from a deep conviction that the outer, visible parts of organizational life is a mirror image of the inner, often hidden aspects.

My work is centered around ways to facilitate the decoding and upgrade of the inner Operating Systems (iOS) of organizations and the key people and groups that populate them. Authenticity, awareness and accountability are qualities that I wish to elicit both in myself and the people I collaborate with.
