About me

My journey has always been driven by a natural curiosity about my own depth, the world, and its people. I was consumed by deep connection and understanding.

While my academic pursuits did not reveal the truths I really cared about, it gave me a first taste of international exposure. Living in 10 countries and soaking in over 70 has been an invaluable education, profoundly shaping my understanding and appreciation of the human dimension. 

Professionally, I started in a high-paced, unconventional role forging connections with global business and political leaders. In 3 years, I built a network of 250 ministers, CEOs of the country's largest Corporations, public officials, and even met with 2 Heads of State. This environment taught me to adapt quickly and sail the nuances of leadership. But it also made me question its limits. 

Seeing the future in the hands of entrepreneurs, I shifted my focus to support these innovators. I followed the path of tech, PE&VC, and impact investing, which, proudly, led me to a pivotal role at Techstars. Yet, I promised myself to find fulfillment in my professional life as I do in my personal one, which involves constant introspection and challenging the status quo to stay true to my values and perspective. 

Although one may see a thriving career, I understand the highs of success and the lows of fear, overthinking and burnout. Committing to do the ‘inner work’ might be the hardest part, yet it is the cornerstone of impactful leadership, and the key to inspire others and build a better tomorrow.

As a certified coach, I have found the path forward, turning these challenges into strengths and finally taking my seat. I am now gladly dedicating myself to support others in claiming theirs.
