I'm a passionate coach who aims to make the world a better place by helping leaders and teams thrive and transform to become the best version of themselves. My purpose in life is lived as a coach, after a career of 30+ years as a team leader and executive. Born in Norway in a french speaking family, I have worked most of my life in french companies in the consumer goods industry. Corporations like L'Oréal, J&J and Colgate were among my employers.

My individual coaching is done either online or in person, and my team coaching is done in person only. My coaching style is inclusive and non judgmental, I help my clients find deep rooted motivation so they can be who they want to be in life and at work.
I am Romeo (1975) and my focus as an executive coach is to develop outstanding qualities in positive leadership and selfmastery so that you flourish as a professional and human being and others see you as an inspiration and role model. As a result, you have a big positive impact on wellbeing, employee engagement, resilience and team performance - with a success rate of at least 95%. I combine evidence-based approaches from positive psychology, mindfulness practice, resilience research and agile leadership to bring back more ease, fun, impact and health to your workplace through new ways of leadership and work. Since 2009 I have coached over 300 leaders, from top and middle management in leadership, self-management and career management. Most of them came from sectors such as technology, financial services, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals and companies such as Pilatus Aircraft, Buhler Group, AXA, Medtronic, On Running, Credit Suisse, Novartis, etc. From my background, I am a business economist with a master's degree from the University of Zurich, completed a distance learning program in positive psychology from the University of Pennsylvania, am a mindfulness teacher (MBSR), and a certified coach with the Int.

I firmly believe that every individual possesses the innate potential to achieve greatness in their personal and professional lives. However, the path to success is often riddled with challenges, self-doubt, and fear. As a coach, my mission is to serve as a catalyst for transformation, providing guidance and support for those seeking to realize their full potential and overcome obstacles. I am an Executive Coach, facilitator, trainer, and mentor with over 20 years of experience across corporate leadership, entrepreneurship, and personal development. My journey has taken me through diverse industries including media, banking, and digital, working with organizations such as Microsoft, JP Morgan, and Times of India Group. Along the way, I have led teams, built businesses, and navigated the same pressures and uncertainties that many of my clients face today. Moving from India to Hong Kong, and later to New York City, each transition asked me to listen differently, adapt, and become more aware of what I was carrying with me. Living and working across cultures has taught me how much meaning lies in what is unspoken, how deeply context and environment shape behavior, and yet how similar we all are underneath it. This perspective allows me to work with clients across geographies and cultures with sensitivity and depth. I hold an MBA in Marketing and an Engineering degree, and I am a PCC-certified coach with additional certifications in Emotional Intelligence (EQi), NLP, DEI, Positive Intelligence, and Transactional Analysis. I have worked with leaders and professionals from diverse backgrounds, supporting them in navigating transitions, strengthening their leadership presence, and making more intentional choices. My approach is both grounded and reflective. I create a space where clients can pause, think clearly, and explore what truly matters, while also challenging them to take meaningful action. I partner with my clients not just to gain insight, but to translate that insight into sustainable change. What differentiates my work is the combination of deep business understanding and human insight. I am able to meet clients where they are, while helping them see what they cannot yet see, enabling shifts that are not just immediate, but lasting.

Amy is a Professional Certified Coach specialising in coaching middle managers - helping them become confident communicators and leaders who proactively tackle the hard stuff of the middle management sandwich every day. I'm based in Brisbane, Australia, coaching clients all over the world. I will help you feel more confident leading your team, building your network, speaking up, thinking strategically and leading upwards. You will confidently unravel the messiness of your complex workplace, without breaking yourself! Within organisations, our middle managers are crucial. The psychological safety, performance and retention of our people is dependent on their efficacy as leaders. The responsiveness of our organisations to adaptive change and transformation is dependent on their ability to prioritise shifting workloads, skill up their teams and integrate projects and change initiatives with BAU. The sustainability of our outcomes, relationships with key stakeholders and senior leaders' awareness of emerging issues, is dependent on their communication skills. And yet. So often we promote to this level based on technical skill sets and success in individual delivery. Our shift in expectations of their skill set is now significant, but so often we leave them to flounder. Hopefully a Managers 101, Leadership Foundations to get them started, but then in the very messy every day challenges that shape the ways in which our managers become key leaders within our organisations, we leave them on their own to just get on with it. In truly successful organisations, we have cascading leadership development whereby brilliant senior leaders mentor and coach the emerging leaders in management layers under them. But more often we don't. If you are frustrated by a lack of real change in your organisation, in new initiatives that stall or persistently plateau at implementation level, and with churn of people or complaints from staff - investing in the leadership development of your middle managers could be crucial. Over the last 20 years, Amy has developed leadership development programs, group, team and individual coaching that genuinely builds confidence and sustainable leadership growth at this layer. If you are a middle manager, you know the pain of the squishy middle already! "I wish I could be more confident", "How do I start trying to sort this mess", "There's so much pressure from all directions, I'm squeezed in the middle", "I can't get my voice heard in meetings", "Am I actually ready for this", "I'm overwhelmed, I don't even know where to start", "There's just not enough hours for my new role", "My team's work is lost in the complexity of my organisation", "I was thriving in my last role, now I feel like I'm drowning", "I know I need to have this conversation but I'm putting it off", "I just don't get how to lead upwards effectively", "I'm not sure what I need to move to the next level", "I'm not good enough to take this on"......circling thoughts in your head? Managers who work with me understand, develop and apply the practical tools that they need to step up to leading at their level and beyond within their organisation. Stepping up to Leadership requires a different skill set to that which we may have been promoted for. It is a skill set that can be learned, but only through doing. Through building self-awareness, a tangible leadership toolkit and the skills of resilience, then practising and reflecting on real-life leadership in action, I help my clients become confident leaders who can step in to do the "important and hard" work rather than the "busy and easy" work, every day. Leadership Coaching is like a Manager's Personal Trainer! Like a professional leadership training course, only completely individualised to your development needs and goals, and completely contextualised to your experience and situation. We take the pieces of leadership development that are most useful for you, explore it to the depth you want to, and then apply it immediately in your workplace, with a chance to review and reflect on your learning as soon as you are ready. Your development as a leader will be grounded in your real-life experiences - using your own case studies as the starting point for your learning, rather than models or formulas. Embedded in evidence and best practice but pragmatic and creating immediate change. We will work within the realities of your complex and high stress environment to reduce your stress, increase your confidence and amplify your impact. I also work with teams of managers to shift organisational culture towards more strategic, human-centred leadership that has real impact in their workplace. Through specific skills-focused and mess un-ravelling projects, I help leaders create real and sustained change in the way they work together.
I help technical leaders and founders make the shift from executing to enabling others to execute. If you've grown from 10 to 50+ people and suddenly you're the bottleneck, I've been there—and I've coached 50+ leaders through this exact transition with measurable results. The Coaching Practice I've been executive coaching since 2016, working with founders and tech executives at companies like Salesforce, Coinbase, and Pinterest. Through BetterUp's platform, I've delivered 200+ sessions to Fortune 500 executives, maintaining consistently high ratings while specializing in leadership transitions, delegation frameworks, and cross-functional influence. My clients achieve 40% faster decision-making, 25% improved team retention, and 15+ promotions to VP/C-level roles. I'm ICF ACC certified (PCC in progress) and bring a methodology grounded in strategic execution, not just theory. Why My Background Matters Before coaching, I lived what my clients face. As a CPA at PwC, I led development of automated tax systems processing 1M+ transactions while managing Agile teams and presenting to CFOs at TD Ameritrade and Google. At 23, I learned that leadership isn't about being the smartest person—it's about building frameworks that work when you're not there. As a product leader at FanDuel, I managed multiple cross-functional teams across engineering, compliance, and legal. I eliminated 99% of mandatory customer suspensions, unblocking $45M in revenue. More importantly, I became obsessive about delegation and developing leaders at every level because I couldn't be the bottleneck. What Makes Me Different When a product leader struggles to influence engineering priorities, I've aligned technical teams around business outcomes without authority. When a first-time VP doesn't know how to delegate, I remember building systems that saved 2,500+ hours while raising team capability. When a founder wrestles with board communication, I draw on experience presenting multi-million dollar investments to executives.
Drawing from my own extensive leadership experience at American Express and the UN over a 30 year period, I combine corporate wisdom with deep emotional intelligence to help clients navigate career transitions, overcome identity challenges, and achieve meaningful professional growth. I am proud to offer structured and action oriented tools to support my clients meet their goals. I offer transformative coaching that blends empathy with challenge, enabling leaders to thrive in today's complex business environment. I love working with ambitious professionals across three fields: 1) Leadership development - Building confidence in leadership styles 2) Careers - promotions and transitions. 3) Executive Coaching - a sounding board to support decision making and thinking through work related scenarios. I have a passion for working with women and empowering them to grow in the workplace. My coaching philosophy is rooted in enabling authentic, effective leadership through structured growth, cultural intelligence, and practical tools. I believe powerful leadership begins with self-awareness and is sustained by aligning personal wellbeing with professional goals. In practice, I create a coaching environment that is both supportive and challenging, where clients are encouraged to think deeply and come up with their own solutions so they can take bold action, and stay accountable. I help them navigate complex environments so they can own their unique voice, and lead with confidence. Using a tailored mix of evidence-based coaching models and diagnostic tools, I support clients to clarify priorities, shift limiting behaviours, and build sustainable strategies for success. The result is not just career progress, but greater clarity, resilience, and fulfilment. Many of my clients choose to work with me over an extended period because I provide a trusted, non-judgmental confidential space where they feel able to talk openly about whatever is on their mind—both personally and professionally. From our very first session, I focus on ensuring clients experience tangible value. They leave each conversation with greater clarity, practical actions, and strategies they can apply immediately to support their growth and progress. Client testimonials consistently show that they experience our time together as meaningful and worthwhile. They leave feeling empowered, more confident in their decisions, and able to move forward with renewed energy and purpose.
