Why do you care / what made you interested in the area you specialize in?
What I enjoy most is turning complexity into something practical: Discovering patterns, understanding the interactions within systems, and finding ways to adapt and change for a wiser tomorrow.
That curiosity has followed me throughout my career. Over 15+ years in senior commercial roles across hotels, car rental, cruises and, ultimately, self-storage, I have always been drawn to understanding why things work the way they do and what happens when one part of a system changes.
My work as a coach added another perspective to that: Markets and businesses are systems, but so are teams, relationships and the ways people think, feel, communicate and make decisions. Data can tell us what is happening, while understanding people often helps explain why and enable meaningful change.
Aligning those perspectives, creating clarity and turning insight into practical change that works for both the business and the people within it is my personal mission.

The person behind the consultancy:
- Favourite book: Antifragile – by Nassim Nicholas Taleb
- Favourite expression: Do good and talk about it
- Best way to persuade me of something: Make it logical, make it interesting, or bring homemade brownies. Two out of three will usually do.
- Favourite way to de-stress: Cooking and meal prep
- Best way to get me curious: Telling me it’s impossible
- Biggest strength: Understanding both the spreadsheet and the person sitting in front of it.
- Biggest weakness: My curiosity has a tendency to send me down rabbit holes, and I rarely resist following the White Rabbit. Unlike Alice, I usually go there
voluntarily.
