About Me

Leadership doesn’t need to be loud to be powerful.
But for years, I thought it did.
 

I pushed hard.
Expected results.
Controlled outcomes—and demanded performance, especially from myself.
 

It worked—until it didn’t.
Relationships strained. The pressure mounted.
And under the surface, I was performing. Proving. Gripping too tightly.
 

Eventually, I burned out.
And rebuilt everything from the inside out.
 

The Shift I Made (And Now Coach Others Through)

Real leadership begins when control gives way to presence.
Not softness—but strength without tension.
 

I thought resilience was about pushing through.
But the real power came when I surrendered—
Not by giving up, but by letting go of the need to prove.
 

This is what I teach now:
Leadership that doesn’t perform. It connects. It creates space. It breathes.
 

It’s not about being less.
It’s about being more grounded, more trusting, more real.
 

That’s where leadership becomes art.
And control becomes clarity.

My Background

I was born in Italy, raised in the Swiss Alps, and have spent the last 30 years in the San Francisco Bay Area.

My clients span tech, biotech, finance, and beyond.

Volunteering in medical missions across Africa and Asia taught me more about resilience and compassion than any boardroom ever could.
 

And when I’m not coaching, I’m hiking, riding, or painting—trading structure for stillness and pressure for perspective.
