With over 25 years of global leadership experience spanning multinationals like adidas, Nestlé-Nespresso, Motorola, Diageo, and Glanbia, I bring to coaching a rare blend of commercial acumen, operational depth, and deeply human leadership. As ex-CEO of a tech company delivering bespoke CRM and loyalty solutions to some of the world’s leading consumer brands, I have firsthand experience navigating complex transformations, building high-performing teams, and driving sustainable growth in a world of constant change.
But beyond the boardroom, my work and my life is rooted in something more enduring: values. I believe leadership is about service, not status. That humility is not weakness, but strength. And that the most powerful leaders are those who stay hungry to grow and grounded in purpose.
I am a certified WABC business coach focused on enabling leaders to find clarity, courage, and character in their journey. My coaching is practical, ethical, and empathetic, anchored in the belief that self-awareness unlocks better business outcomes. I draw on rich cross-industry experience, real-life complexity, and a relentless commitment to fairness and simplicity.
As a father, husband, and son, I know the balance leaders are striving for. As a former CFO and now CEO, I know the pressure they carry. And as a coach, I help them lead with both results and soul.
I don’t coach from theory, I coach from the trenches. And I’m ready to help others lead from their core.
