I guide professionals through customized training that blends theoretical insights, real-world application, and hands-on consulting to make sure the learning sticks and creates real impact.I designed our programs at Start to Start to NOT be a one-size-fits-all kind of learning experience, instead, we tailor each masterclass to their specific challenges—whether they're Career Project Managers (CPMs), Technical Project Managers (TPMs), or Occasional Project Managers (OPMs). I take it as my mission to equip them with tools they can immediately apply to their projects, helping them not just manage but truly lead.I’m passionate about creating content that is not only practical but also highly engaging. I bring stories and analogies into my teaching, making even the most complex project management principles relatable. I believe in making learning a journey that speaks to everyone, from seasoned professionals to those new to managing projects.As a strategist, I'm also deeply focused on growth—both for my business and for my clients. Currently expanding our footprint to Europe, I’m working with new partners to ensure that Start to Start is accessible to more organizations looking to level up their project management capabilities.With years of experience leading multimillion-dollar transformation projects across industries like Oil & Gas, Automotive, FMCG, and Government, I’ve seen what works and what doesn’t. I bring those lessons to my clients every day, ensuring they aren’t just learning theory—they’re gaining insight. Show less
