My journey

Growing up in a small village up in the mountains of Crete, my academic path and my search for purpose took me to Athens, where I completed my Bachelor Degree in Statistics at University of Piraeus and to the other side of Europe, to Dublin, where I was first introduced to Leadership, Team Development, Performance Management and Coaching at Barclaycard International.

This was followed by a Masters in Project Management in University College Dublin and a successful and fulfilled career in Pfizer Inc. over the following 15 years, during which I supported a variety of Business Transformation initiatives Globally and was presented with numerous opportunities to stretch and discover myself, my capabilities, my talents and limits.

During those years, I gained valuable experience and exposure on Leadership and Project Management roles, I met and built relationships with amazing people from all over the world.

As my professional path unfolded, I developed a passion for understanding what drives human development and growth, in personal or professional arena, which led me to my current path of Coaching and Growth.

With a very rich professional experience and a variety of interpersonal skills, it was time for me to re-establish my roots in my home country Greece and continue on my self-development journey, having discovered those couple of things that have always given me joy and drive- People and Transformation.

My aspirations and qualifications

I am qualified Executive and Leadership Coach from Coaching and Mentoring Partnership (Ireland), trained facilitator in Time to Think Environment and active member of Association for Coaching. I ensure continuity in my education and development attending relevant to coaching and leadership training programs and seminars, and follow active supervision with an accredited supervisor.

Inspired by human potential and endless possibilities of growth, I am a strong believer that ordinary people have the capacity to do extraordinary things given the conditions that say 'YOU MATTER'. Producing this environment for people and supporting them as they are building awareness, accountability and self-belief is a privilege and responsibility I deeply treasure.

Embracing coaching presence and practice, I am described as talented listener with the ability to drive people to think deeper, to explore more, to understand better, bringing a calming influence and warm presence in my relationships.
