TESTIMONIALS
He is very sharp and fast in analyzing a situation-real time, providing highly valuable & practical feed-back. He moves you out of your comfort zone quickly which is where you learn most… I learn through every conversation/ interaction – I feel energized and inspired
He enabled me to achieve many things in my first 100 days as a senior leader in NewCo. Most important for me was a mindset shift into my new role, and helping me to find the confidence to be successful amidst significant change
He is smart, displays fast business-cultural-individual understanding and works always towards solutions and strategies driving business and collaboration. Very enjoyable to work with whilst maintaining a high standard of integrity which is key in the relationship
He is able to challenge me on my thinking of a situation and make me reflect on my actions and how I can improve not only as a professional, but also on the personal level. In particular, he has helped me prepare for major meetings with investors where he was a key factor for storytelling development. His insights on my attitude towards goals in an agile environment has made me reflect and restructure them…
Extremely fast thinker and very adaptive to unexpected turns in the coaching session. ‘Tailored’ business advice
Intelligent, attentive, strategic, personalized
It has been a unique experience and great partnership
I deeply value his strategic insights and move to action. And of course I trust him implicitly. He has helped me to navigate some tricky stakeholder relationships as I transitioned to NewCo role, which involved holding a mirror up to myself and changing tack as a result. In my previous Co as a VP and Regional GM Asia Pacific, he helped me to strengthen my GM team, to address some challenging market and personal issues and opportunities
