Scaling leadership and culture at startups.

My name is Christine, and I love to break dumb systems, blaze new trails, and uncover hidden gems.

To build what helps us thrive and release the obsolete.

To uplift spirits, foster talent, and rally people around a common mission and vision.

As a coach and co-creative consultant, I'm into demystifying the art of becoming a great leader and making culture a powerful engine for scaling your startup.

To do that, I draw from over 15 years of leadership and management experience in North America and Europe, lifelong curiosity, and a knack for seeing big-picture connections and possibilities that has helped me nurture amazing talent, create effective turnaround strategies, and rapidly shift team performance.

I've seen countless business angles and team dynamics at Fortune-500s, startups, and non-profits, managing and mentoring people in business ops, customer services, IT training and support, software development, and project management. I built departments, strategies and products, and led teams through restructures, operational uncertainty, and cultural change.

Along the way, I was on the executive board of an 800-people-strong healthcare company, got my MBA, fulfilled my dream of organizing a TEDx event, turned into a caregiver, and joined the U.N. Women Industry Disruptor startup program.

And somewhere in there, burnout threw me into a ditch. Mercilessly.

The toughest teacher - and the best:

Showing me what's real about resilience and trust.

About the state of our humanity at work.

About (self-) awareness.

I realized that helping you expand your leadership skills and build a strong company culture isn't only about sharing what I learned from leading others but especially about what I learned from re-starting and authentically leading myself.

Now let me close with this:

I believe the future of business belongs to founders and CEOs who endeavor to free themselves and others from our individual and collective mental prisons.

Leaders who create ecosystems that encourage collaborative innovation, based on trust and connective individuality.

Leaders who have the courage to dismantle useless rules and structures.

Leaders who value and have faith in their feelings and intuition.

(If you just nodded along, thinking "that's so me", then let's connect.)

My hope is that through my writing, coaching and consulting I can bring a bit more of that into this world.

Leadership done right is a movement of healing, and with healing comes freedom.
