My Corporate Life

I started my professional career with FMCG giant ‘Mars’ when People Function was used to be called Personal and Organisation. Yep, it was some time ago…!

I didn’t know much about HR profession at that time but from the beginning I realised this is MY place: I wanted to work with people, help them to grow and develop and I wanted to make a difference.

I helped business leaders grow high performing teams while doubling revenues, redefined companies’ cultures, supported hundreds of employees to prepare for job interviews or promotion panels, designed and facilitated training programmes, led and developed HR teams, coached and mentored junior colleagues, resolved tricky sensitive conflict situations, opened new legal entities.

I enjoyed  my HR career working with senior executives of large international companies across different industries including Mars, American Express, UnitedHealth Group, F5 Networks, PlayStation, Unilever, Commvault.

For many years and for the most part I loved it - I got to travel the world, meet interesting people, work on exciting projects and felt like I was ‘lucky’ to work with such companies.

Many of my HR colleagues would agree that HR can be a lonely place… I started to feel that the job was not feeding my soul, I had become too far removed from my deep desire to help people and make a real difference. I needed a new challenge.

My New Chapter

So it was time for a CHANGE and launch my coaching and mentoring practice.

I now use my experiences, through my coaching programmes, to help professionals to find a way out of what it is they think they SHOULD be sticking with and creating together a new working life chapter that fills them with joy. Or sometimes you can find me speaking to owners and CEOs of small businesses on how to be a good employer and have the right People Strategy for their business.

Being self-employed and running my own company is challenging but I live a life that I create and I love it. If I can help you get clarity, build up confidence and have a clear action plan, I will be extremely happy!
