You don't need another generic coach.

You need someone who understands the world you operate in - and when its rules stop serving you.

I spent nearly 18 years in front-office investment banking at Barclays (Markets), navigating high-stakes deals, demanding stakeholders, and the relentless pressure to deliver while staying composed. I know that environment from the inside.

For years, I believed that because I could handle the pressure, I should. I kept relying on what had helped me succeed: being responsive, dependable, and willing to take on more. Over time, I saw how those strengths can become over-functioning when they remain the default, even as your role changes. You can keep delivering while losing time, energy, and room for the broader contribution your role now demands.

That experience changed the direction of my work. Today, I help senior leaders in banking and finance stop over-functioning and lead with real edge. That includes VPs preparing for Director, as well as Directors and MDs looking to broaden their influence, shape direction, and lead through others. The work is tailored to the leadership challenge and scope you're navigating.

I use my Ping Point Alignment Model to explore the connection between who you are internally and how you show up at work. It helps us notice where those are in sync - and where a shift could better support the way you want to lead.

This Isn't Theory - It's Lived Experience.
I don't just understand high-pressure careers from the sidelines - I've lived the specific reality of senior investment banking: the politics, the pace, the pressure to always be 'on'. I speak your language because I've sat in your chair.

I Bridge Real-World Experience with Evidence-Informed Coaching.
I combine lived front-office experience with international coaching credentials and a MSc in psychology and neuroscience. This rare, unique blend gives you practical, evidence-informed support grounded in the realities of senior banking.

Tailored. Strategic. Personal.
No fluff. No cookie-cutter templates. Every engagement is shaped around your pace, challenges, and goals - with a focus on progress that matters to you.

Success Shouldn't Require Sacrifice.
You’ve worked too hard to feel depleted or disconnected. This work is about sustaining your performance, protecting what matters to you and expanding your impact - without lowering the bar.

I work best with those who:

• Are succeeding, but feel the cost - or sense there's more impact they could make
• Are navigating promotion, a broader remit or a change in how they lead
• Want their presence to match their expertise - without feeling they have to fake it
• Still value performance - but don't want it to depend on over-functioning

If that sounds like you, you don't have to figure it out alone.

Let's explore how you can expand your impact without simply doing more of what no longer works.
