PROFESSIONAL BIO, ERA COACHING Specialty: Executive Coaching | Cross-Cultural Leadership About Me I am a Certified Master Coach (ICI, ICF Accredited) with over 24 years of international experience partnering with C-suite executives and senior leaders to unlock their full leadership potential, across cultures, sectors, and borders. My practice sits at a rare intersection: I bring the rigor of an ICF-accredited methodology, the depth of a Doctorate, and the hard-won credibility of someone who has led, as Business Unit Head at Ericsson across North Africa and in senior roles at HP Services, before becoming a coach. I know what it costs to lead under pressure. That lived experience is what makes my coaching unusually grounded and direct. My Coaching Specialty Executive Coaching for High-Stakes Leaders I work with C-suite executives and senior managers navigating complex transitions, new roles, organizational transformation, team realignment, or the urgent need to lead differently. My coaching is structured, evidence-based, and built for lasting behavioral change, not just insight. Using Marshall Goldsmith's Stakeholder-Centered Coaching methodology, I create rigorous accountability systems that ensure real, visible progress, measured not only by the leader, but by those around them. Cross-Cultural Leadership Intelligence Having worked across 10+ countries, led multicultural teams in French, English, and Arabic simultaneously, and coached leaders in complex international environments, I bring a depth of cross-cultural intelligence that few coaches can match. For executives leading diverse teams, managing international mandates, or operating across cultural boundaries, I provide both the frameworks and practical tools to turn cultural complexity into a genuine leadership advantage. My Approach Every engagement begins with a thorough diagnostic, stakeholder interviews, certified leadership assessments (John Maxwell Leadership Assessment · Marshall Goldsmith 360° Stakeholder Feedback), and a joint definition of success. From there, I build a personalized development journey typically spanning 6 to 12 months, combining: • Structured coaching sessions with clear milestones • Stakeholder feedback loops (Marshall Goldsmith methodology) Stakeholder feedback loops (Marshall Goldsmith methodology) • Certified assessment insights to accelerate self-awareness • Cross-cultural lenses applied to real leadership challenges The result: leaders who don't just feel more confident, they are measurably more effective, more trusted, and more impactful in the eyes of those they lead.
