Quant Mind. Shaman Soul.
Cambridge-trained executive coach and Reiki Master, ex-Director in investment banking, and neurodivergent myself.
I help spiky, high-performing leaders (ADHD, autistic, or simply wired differently) who stop masking and lead at full strength.
Most are MDs, directors, engineers and founders in tech and banking, where technical brilliance is no longer the variable. What matters now: your presence, your decisions, and what your team feels when you walk in.

About Me
I spent over a decade as a Director in global investment banking, delivering billions in capital savings and leading teams of 200+, all while autistic, ADHD, and masking to fit in. Now I coach spiky, high-performing leaders to stop masking and lead at full strength, pairing analytical rigour with the grounding of a Reiki Master.

The friction was never your performance. It's everything you've had to do around it.
You've spent years masking at work, and it's quietly capping what you're capable of.
You're deeply technical but you've hit a ceiling competence alone can't break.
You make high-stakes calls daily, with no equal sounding board to think them through.
