Advisory
Leadership and governance for founders, boards and collaborative networks
Where leadership and structure meet.
Most advisors focus on one: strategy and governance, or people and mindset. In my experience — and my research — ventures and organisations stall when the two drift apart. I help bring them back together.
Who I work with
Founders and their teams, especially women-led and impact ventures working on education, inclusion and sustainability
Accelerators and ecosystem programmes that want founder development to go beyond pitching and strategy
Boards and board candidates who want fresh, independent perspectives at the table
Networks and collaborations of independent professionals that need governance to work together
PILLAR 1
Leadership — the inner side of growth
My research with early-stage founders shows that startups rarely fail on the market alone. They struggle when the founder's self-awareness, leadership identity and ability to make the vision land with the team don't keep pace with growth.

How I work
I am direct and warm. I’ll challenge assumptions but always in service of what you ‘re trying to build. I work best with people who welcome honest questions and want to get the foundations right — strategy, structure, governance and values. I work in English, German, French, Italian and Greek.
