Fulfilling Executive Leaders' Ambitions | #H2H: Human-to-Human Author | 200+ Keynotes | TEDx Speaker | Silicon Valley, CA 🇺🇸 + Lisbon 🇵🇹

You’re not stuck. You’re just outgrowing the playbook that got you here.
High performers reach a point where the same tools stop working. The mask of certainty cracks. And what used to feel like drive? Starts to feel like depletion.

I know the signs because I’ve lived them—and coached through them.
Over the last two decades, I’ve helped thousands of leaders, entrepreneurs, and exec teams redefine how they lead—by shifting from performative perfection to aligned presence.
I started a global movement (#H2H), gave a TED Talk on why sharing redefines the future, built one of Silicon Valley’s fastest-growing agencies, and wrote two bestsellers. But what matters more than the accolades is the ripple effect: helping humans lead better, live fuller, and build from clarity instead of chaos.

If you’re navigating a shift, personally or professionally, I coach high-performing executives ready to evolve their leadership, their business, or both. I also speak and advise on how to lead with trust, create high-impact cultures, and scale what matters.

Let’s talk if you’re:
	•	Leading a team that’s growing faster than your systems
	•	Reimagining your role, your brand, or your business
	•	Ready to stop forcing and start aligning

P.S. I’m based in Lisbon and Silicon Valley, speak globally, and still believe the most powerful thing you can be is human.
