About

I have over 20 years’ experience in change management, organisational development, communication strategy and organisational communication, as well as training and leadership development.

As an independent facilitator, coach and trainer I facilitate conversations and build capabilities for a broad range of clients in the areas of strategic alignment and organizational/team development. I help clients tackle issues such as strategic visioning, team effectiveness, leadership development, change management, corporate and investor communication, training and development, and related fields.

I spent almost 10 years as an expert consultant at McKinsey & Company. Leading the sub-Saharan Africa Client Communication team, I was responsible for delivering communication strategy, change management and related advice to corporate and government clients across a range of countries and sectors. Subsequently I ran my own communication consultancy for 3 years, based in Luxembourg and serving clients across 4 continents.

Back in South Africa in 2015, I became Senior Manager for Organisational Development at AllLife, a niche life insurance company. This role included creating the architecture to assess and build capabilities and effectiveness within the entire management team.

Before branching out on my own again, I also spent time with innovative start-up Sinequanon, a people analytics consultancy, helping develop a suite of implementation products that enable clients to translate Sinequanon’s analytical insights into action. Focus areas included leadership development, employee communication/engagement, and optimizing critical people processes like performance management.

Based in Finland since 2021, I currently serve mostly startups and tech companies, using a mix of face-to-face and online approaches to facilitation and coaching.
