About me

I went off script — and never looked back

I'm a certified entrepreneurship and leadership coach who spent years navigating the exact systems I now help people understand and outgrow. I have worked for multinational organizations and have even run my own companies in three countries. Plus, I know what it's like to be good at a job that doesn't feel like yours.

These days I run workshops for organizations, coach individuals through career pivots and business launches, and create content that cuts through the motivational noise with research-backed, psychologically grounded insights about how work actually works.

My approach is direct, evidence-based, and completely allergic to corporate jargon. If you're looking for someone to tell you everything is fine, I'm not your person. If you're looking for someone to help you see clearly and move strategically, let's talk.

I also run @the.existentialdoom on Instagram, where I share the kind of workplace truths most people think but rarely say out loud, reaching over 30,000 professionals who are tired of pretending the system works the way it claims to.

What I believe

The principles behind the work

Clarity beats motivation

Most people don't need to be inspired. They need to be able to see their situation clearly enough to make a real decision. Motivation fades, but clarity compounds over time.

Systems shape behavior

When someone's stuck, the problem is rarely that they lack willpower or talent. It's usually the system around them, such as the incentives, the culture and the unwritten rules that's keeping them in place.

Honesty is the shortcut

The fastest way to get somewhere worth going is to be honest about where you actually are. Coaching that dances around uncomfortable truths wastes everyone's time.
