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
I help technology professionals become confident leaders, navigate meaningful career transitions, and build careers that are both successful and sustainable.
Throughout my leadership career I've hired, coached and developed managers and sellers across globe, supported people through promotions, leadership transitions and complex career decisions, while leading high-performing international organisations in one of the world's leading technology companies.
Today, I combine both worlds.
As a Regional Sales Director at Atlassian, I've led international leaders and sales organisations across multiple countries, helping managers develop high-performing teams, navigate change, grow into larger leadership roles, and consistently deliver results in fast moving environments,
Alongside my corporate career, coaching has been a constant part of my professional life.
More than a decade ago, I trained as a Co-Active Coach with the Co-Active Training Institute (CTI), one of the world's most respected coaching schools. I later continued my development with Art of Existence, deepening my work in transformational coaching, systems thinking, Gestalt, Jungian psychology, and leadership development.
These experiences have shaped how I coach today. My coaching combines the perspective of an executive leader with the depth of professional coaching. Together, we'll explore not only what to do next, but also how you want to leader make decisions, and build a career that feels both successful and sustainable.
