I am a Matchmaker, Advisor, Catalyst, Storyteller, Entrepreneur: My life’s work is using these gifts to create new realities for professionals that want to make a difference in the world around them. Through Executive Search and Board advisory services, I help top executive teams manage risk and find practical solutions to complex leadership issues such as succession planning, new business creation, and organisation redesign and governance. Directorships with public corporations, academia, and the Association of Executive Search (AESC) global Board, are my privileged platform to “give back” through service. Executive Coaching and Speaking engagements are catalysts for individual transformation. Sometimes, it’s by helping a person discover their uniqueness and exceptional traits so as to “release” potential, remove barriers, see new avenues, and forge ahead. Other times, it is inspiring audiences to discover insights through storytelling and reflections. As co-founder of Talengo, I am energized by our creative power to challenge the limits of what great Leadership advisory service looks and feels like, as a profession and a business worldwide. There’s no better place to be Matchmaker, Advisor, catalyst, storyteller, Entrepreneur, all in one! Three decades of experience in business management with bluechip service firms, management and teaching experience in higher education, and director service on public, private and not-for-profit boards, are my resources for providing practical insights for top executive teams. USA-born and a long term resident of Europe, I offer a global perspective on leadership advisory, coaching and facilitation, while continuing to learn and expand this vision thanks to continued international exposure and experience.
