I am an Executive Coach, Facilitator, Consultant, and Independent Trainer, operating under the brand "Verdemeta." In my most recent career, I developed the projects "Transition Space," a network of professionals working on Change, and the newly launched "Ecora," which focuses on an ecosystemic approach. Since 2000, and for about 15 years, I worked in the field of people development within companies, dealing with recruitment and training, and supporting individuals from their hiring throughout their entire development journey. Through this experience, I became increasingly involved in themes such as self-realization within one's context, the well-being of interpersonal relationships, and the effectiveness of achievement. At the peak of my corporate journey, I felt the need and desire to combine everything I had accomplished in my professional life with my love for Nature, leading me to encounter Ecopsychology. I specialized in corporate coaching and sought to merge the two experiences by creating "Green Coaching" and the "Verdemeta" brand. These experiences, combined with coaching based on the Positive Psychology approach, define my style, which focuses on developing and enhancing strengths and solution-oriented strategies, increasing awareness and personal transformation, and broadening individuals' perspectives towards goals rooted in existential and systemic themes that significantly impact achievement and performance. Today, I work as an Executive Coach, Team Coach, Facilitator, Consultant, and Group coach to help people and organizations maximize their potential and find their systemic balance. I am also the author of the book "Nature Speaks to You - A Guide to Ecocentric Personal Growth."

I work with senior leaders, coaches, supervisors, and teams to deepen their reflective capacity, unlock hidden strengths, and surface unconscious patterns, by embracing presence, the courage to pause, the wisdom of not knowing, and leading from what matters most. Together, we create workplaces where leadership emerges at every level, and people tap into their innate wisdom and creativity in service of something greater than individual achievement. This approach enables exceptional business outcomes while creating the conditions for truly transformational coaching and supervision that benefit both individuals and the wider system. I am an accredited coaching supervisor and Senior Practitioner with the European Mentoring and Coaching Council (EMCC), bringing over two decades of contemplative and professional experience into my practice. My diverse background spans technical support management, a degree in artificial intelligence, and 15 years as a Buddhist monk. This rare combination of disciplines gives me a unique lens on leadership, transformation, and systemic change. Drawing on my deep understanding of solitude, uncertainty, and the power of reflection, I support leaders in aligning their work with their life’s true purpose, enhancing their effectiveness as global stewards and evolving leadership culture in organizations and society. Through the PlayfulMonk approach, which I developed, I help individuals and teams build their capacity for self-reflection, manage personal and group tensions, develop ethical awareness, and stay calm and connected in complex, high-pressure environments. Currently, I serve as the part-time Head of Faculty and Leadership at Blend Associates, where I support senior executives and teams within the UK’s National Health Service to navigate the emotional and systemic challenges of leadership in times of change and stress. With compassion, clarity, and courage, I walk alongside those who lead, to help them live and lead from presence, purpose, and possibility.
