I spent 16+ years at Google working in go-to-market and people leadership roles across EMEA.

My work sat in high-performance environments — where expectations were high, change was constant, and people were expected to figure things out quickly.

Over time, I became increasingly interested in the pattern I kept seeing:

There were largely two categories of seemingly, indentical groups: individuals that moved forward with confidence.

The other, equally capable individuals, got stuck — second-guessing, overthinking, or losing momentum at key moments.

That gap had very little to do with capability or experience.

And eventually I realised that it had everything to do with how people were working with themselves.

What I Do Now

Now I’m building Academy One — a space focused on practical tools, frameworks and coaching to help people better understand and work with themselves.

Not in a theoretical way.

But in ways that actually hold up:

• in interviews

• in high-pressure environments

• in moments of change or uncertainty

• in day-to-day decisions and habits

How I Work

My approach combines:

• real-world leadership experience

• coaching training (NeuroLeadership Institute)

• structured, psychology-informed frameworks

Everything is designed to be:

• practical

• clear

• usable in real life

Right Now

I’m currently developing and testing:

• Interview EDGE (workshop + workbook)

• practical tools and reflection frameworks

• small group and 1:1 sessions

If you’re interested in working together — or being part of early testing — you’re very welcome to get in touch.
