Hi, I am Julia

Through my 20+ years leadership career in global corporations including Cisco Systems, Air France KLM and Kenya Airways, I have gained a wealth of insights and experience shaped by my journey across four continents in various strategy, commercial and digital roles.

Now, serving as a sidekick to leaders and founders, I use a unique blend of coaching, consulting, facilitation and training to help individuals and teams (re)connect, transform, and scale sustainable impact.

I envision a future where organizations are and speak truly human—encouraging authenticity, compassion, courage and trust. A future where individuals reconnect with themselves, with others and the environment they live in. A future where individuals thrive at all levels (physically, mentally, emotionally) and consequently are empowered to contribute wholeheartedly to the sustainable performance of their organization.

I believe that the quality of our life is largely dependent on the quality of our relationships. And that how we relate to ourselves and others, has a direct impact on what we create and thus the footprint we leave in the world.

My approach, anchored in authentic relating, emotional intelligence and relational leadership practices, serves as a bedrock for both personal and systemic change.

I am a certified yoga teacher, photographer and nature lover. While I have been a curious world traveller for many years, the recent pandemic, the state of our host, Planet Earth, and my own growing pains, invited me to travel more slowly, locally and inward: an insightful journey where I came to remember that the change we want to see in the world starts from within.
