I am a Certified Professional Life and Leadership Coach with a MBA and 10+ years’ experience in non-profit leadership. As a coach and international development expert, I aim at catalyzing the personal and professional growth of my clients and team members to reach their goals while also improving the well-being of thousands of economically poor all over the world.

Over the last fifteen years, I have lived in eight countries spanning six continents–Kyrgyzstan, Colombia, Ethiopia, Jordan, Solomon Islands, Italy, Austria, and the United States and have visited over 30 more countries for work or personal interest. Coming into contact with a diversity of cultures, (hi)stories, personalities, challenging situations, and ecosystems, has taught me a lot about others, myself, and life in general.

I am an explorer at heart, whether it is hitchhiking through the Omo Valley in Southern Ethiopia, exploring my inner life through years of meditating practices, or looking for new ways to make markets work for the poor as part of my professional track. Through it all, I have been dedicated assiduously to a path of learning and growth to improve my relationship with myself and the world.

Since 2014 I have been married to my amazing wife, with whom I have a shared commitment to learning and growing within our relationship and who, as a psychotherapist, has taught me so much about the workings of our inner world.

In my coaching practice I integrate all of this into a unique, one-of-a-kind offering for my clients.

Who are my clients?

My clients are individuals who, while living in the messy reality of daily life, believe in the goodness of humanity and dare to hope for a better future for themselves and others. They are typically 20-50 years old of all genders with a global mindset–whether expats, (aspiring) global nomads, or globally-oriented folk with less of a traveler’s itch. They are professionals, non-profit leaders, homemakers, students, thinkers, spiritual seekers, and/or humanitarians seeking a more expansive life.
