Professional Coach and Facilitator
I provide mentoring and coaching support to professionals willing to explore new career opportunities, making the most of their skills and potential, and get clarity about their next career steps.
I have mentored young researchers in their path out of academia as well as experienced professionals exploring alternative career options. I have coached researchers building their group and senior managers willing to grow in their leadership role.
Thanks to years in research, I also work on academic writing.
I have helped countless researchers of all seniority to structure their thesis, article, book chapter or applications. In the writing coaching programme, we co-develop a personalised plan that helps you getting started or moving forward with your writing, with feedback and support to get it done.

About me
I have been working for years first as a researcher then as a manager in academia, at the interface between universities, industry and the public sector, bringing scientific developments to society in a financially sustainable and socially equitable way.
I have a background as a research scientist in several institutions, public and private, across different countries and have worked a lot around scientific communication and policy engagement. My coaching and facilitation approach is one where rigour and creativity combine, something all good scientists do!
My personal story makes me passionate about inter-disciplinary work and inter-cultural dialogue, a passion that I bring to my work with people of a variety of backgrounds.
I am a trained facilitator, and have delivered over the years group sessions for academics and industry leaders around co-creation, group management, knowledge exchange. I am qualified professional coach, and have recently completed a certification in Behaviour Change.
