About this session
Great leadership is not just about managing people. It is about building trust, making better decisions, communicating clearly, and helping others do their best work. This MentorCruise session is designed to support professionals who want to grow into stronger leaders, whether you are stepping into leadership for the first time or looking to become more effective in an existing role.
You’ll work with an experienced mentor to navigate real leadership challenges and develop a clearer sense of your style, strengths, and growth areas. Together, you can work through topics like communication, delegation, feedback, team dynamics, decision-making, and executive presence. The goal is to help you lead with more confidence, self-awareness, and effectiveness in the situations that matter most.
Your mentor
Over the past 15+ years, I’ve led multicultural engineering teams and cross-functional transformation initiatives across aerospace, manufacturing, automation, and MedTech organizations.
I currently serve as Engineering Senior Manager at Johnson & Johnson in Switzerland, where I lead strategic engineering and automation programs across the EMEA region. Throughout my career, I’ve worked closely with technical experts, aspiring leaders, and engineering managers navigating growth, organizational complexity, stakeholder management, and career transitions.
These sessions are designed for engineers and technical professionals who want to grow beyond purely technical execution and become more confident, strategic, and impactful leaders.
Together, we can work on topics such as leadership mindset, communication, visibility, stakeholder management, decision-making, team leadership, strategic thinking, and navigating complex corporate environments while staying authentic to your own leadership style.
