mentoring & coaching

Guidance. Reflection. Inspiration.

They unlocked my growth at every stage — someone always gave me their time. Free, confidential 1:1 sessions for product managers, directors, and leaders navigating transitions are how I pay that forward.

Where I can help

IC → Manager → Director

Delegation, team dynamics, the identity shift from maker to multiplier — and the second jump from managing people to managing managers.

Industry or geography pivot

Changing continents, industries, or both. Transferable judgment, building credibility fast, navigating without a playbook. I've done it three times.

Building a product organisation

Product function from scratch, or restructuring an existing one. Mission-based teams, hiring, operating models, the cultural shift from delivery to outcomes.

Decision-making under ambiguity

When the path isn't clear and you need to move anyway. Prioritisation, strategic veto, the discipline of choosing what not to do.

How it works

One 30–60 minute session, video or in person in Berlin. Confidential. Async follow-up with notes or a provocation to sit with. No agenda required — just bring what's on your mind. If another session would help, we book it.

Why pro-bono

Every stage of my career, someone gave me their time. This is how I pay that forward. As a certified coach, and also via Mentoring Club, Plato, and F-Lane (Vodafone's accelerator for female founders).
