From identity to structure: helping you lead like you.
For founders and leaders of growing teams who feel everything runs through them.
If you lead a small, growing team and most decisions still land on your desk, I help you reduce friction, clarify roles, and design ways of working that don’t depend on you being everywhere.
What I do
Most founders and leaders don’t need more advice.
They need the space to slow down just enough to see what’s actually driving their decisions, their workload, and their team dynamics.
I work with leaders, from founders of growing teams to directors of global operations, to improve how decisions are made, how work moves, and how responsibility is shared, without adding headcount, tools, or unnecessary process.
I look at the business through two lenses:
- ERDI™ (Excavate, Redesign, Deploy, Integrate): to simplify the “hard” systems, ensuring the work moves with less drag and ownership is clear.
- ULM-D™ (Unearthed Leadership Mosaic Decolonised™): To align the “soft” culture, helping you lead from your own identity rather than a corporate template.
The result is practical and noticeable:
– fewer escalations and “quick questions”
– delegation that doesn’t bounce back
– clearer decision routes and ownership in the team
– more room for strategy thinking instead of constant firefighting
How I work
We start from how things actually run today.
From there, we choose the lightest intervention that will make a real difference. Depending on the size of your team and the complexity of the friction, that might look like:
- a focused assessment to understand pressure points
- a short workshop with your team
- an Identity Sprint for you or another key leader
- Mosaic Coaching for support over time
- Operational architecture: redesigning the “bones” of your service delivery or transition.
- a Team Mosaic project to reshape how work and decisions move
Across all of these, the work follows the same logic:
- we look at what’s shaping your leadership and your context
- we clarify roles, expectations, and decision flows around that reality
- we test small changes in day-to-day work
- we keep what holds and adjust what doesn’t
This approach links who you are, how you lead, and how your organisation functions, whether you are managing 10 people or 600. It was built for leaders who care about people, results, and their own energy.
What guides my work
I don’t believe leadership is something you install. I see it as something you uncover, then put to work.
My work is guided by three principles:
Integrity of self
Deliberate growth
Adaptability with roots
Why this isn’t coaching as usual
I help you understand what’s already in motion, then support you in shaping what holds. It’s practical, lean-informed, and grounded in your reality.
Most coaching stops at the individual. My approach looks at the combination of identity and infrastructure. By combining ULM-D™ (how you lead) with ERDI™ (how the work moves), we ensure that changes aren’t just temporary mindset shifts, but are built into the actual bones of your operation.
Whether we are untangling a founder’s calendar or stabilising a large-scale operations service delivery, the goal is the same: creating a system that reflects your values and actually works when you aren’t in the room.
A bit of my experience
I bring over 20 years of hands-on, cross-disciplinary experience. I’ve seen how much lighter things get when leadership fits the person and the context, whether that’s in a classroom, a UNESCO fieldwork site, or a global operation of 600+ people.
+ Teaching and operational leadership at scale: 15+ years leading complex, multilingual hubs and BPO transitions.
+ Cross-cultural anthropology: fieldwork that informs my decolonised approach to team identity.
+ Lean systems thinking: a Six Sigma Black Belt focus on making work move with less “drag”.
+ Multilingual delivery: Working fluently in English, Spanish, Italian, Catalan
