Trained Ontological Coach
"My journey revolves around meaningful growth, transformative change and empowering those around me. From leading teams to designing sustainable businesses, my passion for making a positive impact remains undiminished."
"I am a change leader committed to meaningful growth rather than change for its own sake. My journey began in supply chain management, where I rose from technical roles to strategic and executive leadership positions. I have led diverse teams, from factory workers to operations and warehouse staff to qualified engineers and other managers, all focused on achieving top quality.
My ability to drive change was complemented by my ability to develop innovative processes, frameworks and strategies that resonate with stakeholders. This has led me to describe myself as an "intrapreneur" who continually advocates for transformative change and thus influences management, boards and market leaders, which ultimately made me a sustainable business designer.
Over the course of two decades, during which I worked at Unilever as Head of Supply Chain and Sustainability Officer, my commitment to responsible business practices grew. Leading the Unilever Sustainable Living Plan within Operations, Supply Chain and Logistics alongside CEO Paul Polman gave me practical insight into sustainable business practices before returning to university to further my education and network with the Impact Hub community and start-ups, which further developed my entrepreneurial spirit promoted.
The most rewarding part of my journey has been the positive impact I have had on those I have mentored. It has been very satisfying to support managers, promote board members internationally and help women reach leadership positions. These experiences, as different as they may be, help me support the development of leaders into more responsible people and advance my commitment to promoting positive change.
My journey is not only professional but also personal. Integrating mindfulness and self-awareness into my leadership models allows me to balance professional excellence with genuine human qualities.
Colleagues with whom I worked repeatedly emphasized my sense of purpose. As a mentor, I encourage critical thinking through deep questions, promoting focus and growth. My open communication style encourages me to step out of my comfort zone and tap into hidden strengths and passions through regular participation in speaking events.
Through consistent value creation and visionary leadership, my journey continues to evolve. My multidisciplinary expertise, collaborative mindset and results-oriented approach drive my contributions. I am committed to realizing my vision and achieving tangible results through targeted implementation."
