As an executive coach and mentor, I help senior leaders enhance their impact and newly promoted leaders become more effective. My background enables me to help clients broaden their strategic thinking, improve interpersonal skills, have greater influence, and create a stronger executive presence. I have a highly developed talent for identifying problems and distinguishing them from the symptoms they cause. This allows me to help my clients develop practical, effective solutions more rapidly. My clients get the results they want because my background is different than most other coaches. My credentials include an MBA in Finance from the Wharton School of Business along with an MS in Engineering from the University of Pennsylvania. I received my coach training at the Coachville Graduate School of Coaching, and am a Founding Member of the International Association of Coaches and a Past-President of the Denver Coach Federation. With over 20 years of experience as an executive coach, I have coached executives across a wide range of organizations and industries including construction, financial services, manufacturing, international development, healthcare, technology and defense.

Call me Wasfi — a global executive coach and decision-making strategist. Over the past 15+ years, I’ve worked across more than 17 markets, coaching senior leaders, startup founders, and high-potential teams through moments of strategic complexity, personal doubt, and organizational transformation. My journey into coaching began after an unconventional path. I started my career in business development and digital marketing before spending five years working in humanitarian and conflict zones across MENA, Asia and Africa. That period reshaped my understanding of human behavior, resilience, and leadership. After facing my own health crisis, I made the decision to shift from external causes to internal alignment — and began dedicating my life to helping others lead with clarity and conviction. Today, I coach senior executives and leadership teams across government, tech, and global business sectors. My clients have included Spotify, DIFC, AWQAF KSA, MER Group (Europe), and Corporate Unplugged Forum (USA). I also own and deliver CPD-accredited leadership programs and run high-impact decision labs for leaders navigating uncertainty. My coaching style blends behavioral science, values-based inquiry, and rigorous decision-making tools. I’m a certified PCC coach (ICF), a trained facilitator in positive psychology and systems thinking, and the bestselling author of Doubt to Certainty — a business book that became a bestseller and won six international awards. The book’s framework now powers my coaching practice, an executive training curriculum, and Lucia — our AI-powered decision coach designed to democratize access to confident thinking. What sets me apart is the intersection I operate in: logic, authenticity, and results. I’m deeply invested in helping people align their identity with their vision, understand the impact they want to leave behind, and make the difficult decisions required to get there.

Andrew Lowther – Head of Project Development Services-QLD – JLL Australia I recently had the pleasurable experience to have Chris as a coach and mentor. The experience throughout was nothing short of excellent, his insightfulness, psychological analysis, and constructive intuition, made for a wealth of learning and third eye view from my perspective across a range of topics and problems. Chris was invaluable over a period of months during our regular catch ups, and I would recommend Chris to anyone seeking mentorship or coaching around their career path. Joshua Goncalves – Senior Software Engineer – Anduril Industries Australia It was a pleasure to be coached by Chris during my time at Dolby Laboratories. He helped me understand and carefully craft what I actually wanted to do in my career before providing advice that would enable me to not only understand the situation and social parameters surrounding it, but the overall trajectory and the steps I need to take. He did all of this in a clear and actionable manner, free of 'fluff' terms and other qualitative expressions, something that I hugely appreciated. I am now more confident in my career, in the direction I am taking and especially in how I interact with colleagues and people in general. I highly recommend him as a coach, the value is both immediately apparent and something you will consider long into the future.

Getting coached by Chris not only helped deal with change, it helped clarify my goals and next steps. He helped me deal with my emotions, priorities my personal goals and my career. Chris’s strength is in asking questions that help reflect on your own journey, get different perspectives, and get to the answers yourself. His ability to listen and hold the space for you is something I have not experienced with many people. I was able to discuss various aspects of my life both personal and professional because of the psychological safety and trust Chris was able build right from my first conversation with him. What was wonderful is that Chris gave me tools to stay the course even after the coaching assignment had ended. Post the one year of coaching with Chris, I felt empowered and in control.

Fedrick spent 20 years leading product, data, and engineering teams across companies like Zalando, Miro, and Versuni (Philips). He's worked in India, the UAE, Germany, and the UK. He knows what it feels like to step into a bigger role in a country where nobody knows your name yet. That's the work he does best: coaching senior leaders and executives through the transitions that look fine on the outside and feel like chaos on the inside. A new C-suite seat. A move to a new market. The moment when everything that got you here stops working. He's an ICF PCC with over 2,500 hours of coaching behind him and a deep grounding in behavioral science, psychometrics, and cognitive psychology. His sessions are structured, direct, and grounded in evidence. He brings frameworks when they're useful and drops them when they're not. His clients tend to be high-performing leaders in tech who've hit a ceiling they can't think their way past. The work is about building the self-awareness and inner steadiness to lead through complexity, not just survive it. Here's what some of them say: "I came to the coaching engagement feeling overwhelmed by my next steps, but Fedrick did not provide answers; he created the perfect environment for me to find them myself. His non-judgmental presence and thoughtful questions helped me access my own clarity and direction." - Senior VP in Tech "Fedrick encouraged me to explore different perspectives and challenged me to think critically. When appropriate, he also offered mentorship, while maintaining a clear understanding that my world is not his world. Through his guidance, I developed effective strategies to overcome obstacles and take bold action." - Partner in Big5 Fedrick coaches across India, Europe, the Middle East, and North America. He's equally comfortable working with a VP of Engineering in Berlin and a founder in Dubai. The through line is always the same: leaders who are ready to do the real work.

My approach integrates behavioral science, elite performance principles, and practical leadership execution to help people and teams perform with clarity, resilience, and authenticity.

With 30 years of corporate leadership experience, I partner with senior executives to help them realize that what got them here won’t get them there. My coaching is grounded in real-world executive leadership; from managing global teams and billion-dollar P&Ls to navigating complex stakeholder landscapes. I work with leaders ready to evolve beyond their current capabilities, focusing on the critical shift from operational management to strategic leadership, especially in areas like delegating effectively, developing future leaders, and influencing senior stakeholders. My mission is to guide accomplished leaders through pivotal career transitions; helping them adopt new mindsets and behaviours essential for the next level. Often, this means shifting focus from execution to strategy, from managing tasks to developing people, and from operational oversight to executive influence. Together, we build the clarity, confidence, and actionable plan needed to lead at a higher level. My Coaching Approach: A Collaborative Partnership I specialize in coaching seasoned leaders who are ready to elevate their impact. My clients are typically senior executives who understand that advancing further requires new ways of thinking and leading. In our confidential, collaborative partnership, we focus on: • Elevating your leadership through effective delegation and developing future talent. • Cultivating a strategic mindset to shape organizational direction. • Building confidence and skill in engaging and influencing senior stakeholders and peers on strategic matters. • Developing your authentic leadership brand and executive presence to lead with greater authority and impact. My style is both supportive and candid. I believe in exploring underlying self-beliefs, challenging blind spots, and aligning actions with core values. A Global Perspective, Rooted in Experience My perspective is forged in the boardroom and on the front lines of global business. Having led billion-dollar operations and diverse international teams, I bring firsthand understanding of the pressures senior leaders face.
