About me

Psychologist, MBA and coach. And someone who changed course too.

I help leaders and professionals step off autopilot and build success that feels right. Before that, I had to do it myself.

My story

“I know what it's like to look successful and feel stuck.”

For 10 years I worked in People & Culture (HR) teams in tech and start-ups. From the inside I saw many talented people who were stuck, stressed or unhappy, and the systems around them were not built to help the person. I wanted to work with the person, not the process.

Slowly I realised I was living on autopilot too. My career looked good, but it did not fit the life I wanted. Training as a coach, and being coached, made that impossible to ignore.

Eight years ago I changed it. I got clear on my values, designed a vision for my life and worked through the fear and doubt that come with starting over. I left the corporate path to work with people directly, with the freedom to live and work from different places.

Today I run my own coaching practice and work online from wherever I am. I've lived in different countries as an expat and coached people of more than 32 nationalities, in English, Spanish and Catalan.

It taught me two things I bring to every session: clarity is the key to progress, and small shifts create big change.

What shaped how I coach

Psychology

A degree in Psychology from the Universitat de Barcelona, with honours. I understand the person behind the role: emotions, motivation, habits and the stories we tell ourselves.
