Born and (mainly) raised in the UK, with a Yemeni father and English mother, I have also lived in the Middle East, Singapore and Switzerland. I now live in France, close to the Swiss border with Basel, with my husband Oliver and fox red Labrador puppies Tomba and Dara. My international background and experience helps me to connect easily across cultures, to see multiple perspectives and to always challenge my assumptions.

 

I have 20 years of experience in Talent Management and Organizational Development, holding global and regional leadership positions within large corporate organizations, across a range of industry sectors. I have coached leaders at all levels, including c-suite executives, and personally led global teams of up to 25 people, through times of great change, complexity and volatility. My areas of expertise include Talent Assessment, Talent and Leadership Development, Employee Engagement, Culture Transformation and Diversity & Inclusion. I continue to work with organizations on consultancy projects, in addition to providing independent coaching.

Sports have always been a big part of my life and for over 10 years now, I have been a keen cyclist and competitive triathlete. I have represented Great Britain as a member of the British Age Group triathlon team at Olympic Distance and competed at the Ironman 70.3 World Championships. Since moving to Switzerland, I have also become an Enduro mountainbike and trailrunning enthusiast, as well as a passionate backcountry and touring skier. I am a qualified Triathlon coach and a trained Bike Fitter.  Endurance and adventure sports have given me a huge amount of fulfilment and I am passionate about helping others to get the same joy and growth from conquering their fears and achieving their goals.
