Professional background

For over 12 years, I’ve worked in roles where structured thinking and execution were essential.

My experience spans SaaS and e-commerce products, project and product operations, business development and partner programs, and cross-functional, remote teams.

I hold a Master’s degree in Economics and professional certifications in:

• Project Management

• Digital Marketing

• Agile methodologies

• Managing as a Coach (UC Davis, 2025).

Professional training & credentials

I don’t believe in generic advice — and I don’t offer it.

My work is grounded in structured thinking, strategic tools, and continuous learning. Here are some of the trainings that shape how I help clients cut through overload and move forward with clarity.

Core Certifications:

• Managing as a Coach — UC Davis
  Coaching mindset for structured leadership and team clarity.

• Google — Agile Project Management
  Structured decision-making, agile methodologies, clarity under pressure.

• Google Project Management Specialization
  Foundations in planning, execution, stakeholder alignment, and process clarity.

• Business Analysis & Process Management — Coursera
  Systems thinking, workflow optimization, and analytical problem-solving.

Why coaching

Over time, working closely with capable professionals, I saw how often people were expected to perform, decide, and lead without having enough space to think clearly.

Coaching became a way to intentionally create that space — structured, focused, and grounded in real constraints rather than theory or motivation.

How I work

My coaching style is structured, calm, and practical.

Sessions are focused 60-minute conversations designed to help you slow down thinking, clarify what matters now, and decide on next steps that are realistic and sustainable.

As a bonus, every session includes a written summary, so insights and decisions are captured and carried forward beyond the conversation.

Working together

Continuing the work

You can continue with a 5- or 10-session program for deeper, ongoing work.

The structure is clear, the pace is intentional, and there’s no pressure to commit beyond what feels useful.

First meeting

We usually begin with a 1 hr long clarity session to understand your situation and identify what matters most right now.
