I am a leadership strategist who specializes in transforming teams in the first 100 days of leadership.
I don’t wait for trust to be built — I command it from the very first interaction.

With over 20 years of experience in international, complex organizations, I have worked with leaders and teams navigating turbulent transitions, mergers, reorganizations, and rapid growth. I know that the first 100 days of a leader’s tenure are crucial for setting the tone, building alignment, and driving momentum. If trust isn’t established early, it’s hard to recover.

My approach is non-conventual, provocative, results-oriented, no-nonsense method that focuses on clarity, accountability, and high-performance outcomes — right from day one. I cut through the noise, helping leaders navigate the chaos and lead with confidence, even when the path is unclear.

My method is not for everyone.
But for those ready to lead with impact, it’s a game changer.

I don’t coach by the book — because the book doesn’t work in complexity.
My method is unconventional because today’s leadership challenges are unconventional. In fast-moving, politically sensitive, culturally diverse environments, traditional coaching falls short.

I’ve developed Trust Command after two decades of working:

  • Inside international organizations undergoing high-stakes transitions

  • With executive teams under pressure to perform while navigating conflict, silos, or change

  • In high-complexity systems where trust wasn’t a “soft skill” — but a survival skill

I’m not just a coach. I’m a strategic accelerator of team performance who knows how real-world teams work — and what blocks results.

My approach is:

  • Direct, honest, and confrontational when needed

  • Always focused on getting results fast, not “processing endlessly”

  • Built on a deep understanding of group dynamics, power, and pressure

This is why Trust Command delivers results from day one:
It’s based on hard-earned experience — not theory.
And it works where others can't: in the chaos, in the conflict, in the now.
