WHO AM I?

As a passionate advocate of coaching and mentoring, I love creating positive change in individuals and organizations, helping people unlock their true potential and discover unique areas of development and growth.
I am an Professional Certified Coach designated by the International Coaching Federation (ICF), Intercultural Facilitator, and Personal Agility Ambassador (PARA) specialized in the areas of Intercultural Communication and International Human Resource Management (IHRM).
I have pioneered the use of The Personal Agility System through coaching for people in transition.
A dual citizen of Greece and Romania, based in Switzerland since 2015, I understand the challenges required to build a life in a new country. I bring 12+ years’ experience as a Coach, Trainer & Business Consultant.


I help expats and professionals integrate successfully into their new culture so that they communicate with more impact, gain more clarity, purpose, and fulfillment, and achieve sustainable career success.
I am an expert in creative problem-solving, and in using innovative ideas and processes to build cultural intelligence and improve connections across the globe. My practice includes Career, Executive, Agile, & Life Coaching for individuals as well as developing and implementing corporate Human Resources practices for improving cross-cultural relations.
I started my career as a Consultant to share my experience with other people facing similar struggles and catalyze potential in individuals.
