After 20 years in international affairs, from Sarajevo to Baghdad, mostly involved in the management and leadership of complex operations with the United Nations, I decided to shift to consulting and advisory services. Initially with the UN, working on strategy formulation, performance management and workforce planning; but also with government agencies, driving staff L&D, change initiatives and capacity development projects. I subsequently led the International Public Service practice at Mercuri Urval; a global HR consultancy firm specialized in Executive Search, Talent management and Leadership Advisory Services. I am currently a Senior advisor at the United Nations Staff College, unlocking change management initiatives within the UN system. In parallel, I am driving business development in the e-bikes sector in the Nordics. With the United Nations, I have done multiple emergency response and surge deployments: • Pakistan/Afghanistan - 2001, following 9/11. • Indian Ocean Tsunami response in 2005. • War in Lebanon, Summer 2006. • Sri Lanka conflict. 2008. (Cross lines convoys’ negotiation and organization). • Somalia investigations.

Fidji. 2016. I am also an ICF-certified professional coach, providing staff and leadership coaching, as well as facilitating team retreats, workshops and Lessons Learned exercises. As a side project, from 2016 to 2021, I founded and ran a woodworking business in Sweden. "Le Designer Clandestin" was set up to design&craft bespoke and intricate wood boxes and furniture aiming at the US, Middle East and Asia Markets.
