Talent Awakening
AF Executive Coaching partners with your organization to awaken talent, helping new generation managers leverage their strengths and integrate their purpose to create the impact they aspire to. Through a tailored CliftonStrengths approach, I partner with individuals and teams in connecting their natural talents with your company’s objectives, enhancing both personal and organizational wellbeing and success.
With over 20 years of experience in executive search and consulting, I specialize in guiding emerging leaders to find their authentic leadership style and to define the impact they want to have. My coaching approach fosters engagement and supports professional growth through individual and team coaching as well as leadership development.
Awakening fact: a recent Gallup study (May 2024) highlights that: “42% of employees who voluntarily left their organization in the past year report that their manager or organization could have done something to prevent them from leaving their job.”
My coaching approach helps foster deeper alignment and stronger engagement.

About me
My purpose is to awaken the uniqueness of each person, guiding them to lead with authenticity and heart. I became an Executive Coach to have a direct and personal impact on how individuals and teams succeed and shine.
My coaching style is deeply rooted in empathy, fostering a supportive and compassionate space where clients feel heard, understood, valued and purposefully challenged at the same time. This is all about you and your team members, you are in the center of this development process.
My experience spans from Executive Search at Heidrick & Struggles to Corporate with Amcor and Consulting with a-connect (pioneer of the Future of Work). Talent Development has been the red thread of my career. I have graduated from IMD Executive Coaching Program in 2023, I have become an ICF (ACC) certified coach in 2024 as well as a Gallup CliftonStrengths certified coach.
My #1 CliftonStrength is Individualization so you can be sure that I will personalize my approach to your exact needs. This Strength means that I notice and appreciate each person’s unique characteristics and offer a tailored experience to bring out their best.
I am based in Zürich and can work with you in English and French on site and remotely.
