Alessandra supported me developing and navigating through a period of disruptive change. As her strengths I would mention empathy, perspective, offering different point of view for reflection, understanding my needs and designing a journey to support my development, being present and available.
Always in sync with business and system thinking/perspective.
I benefitted most from her ability to connect thinking/mind with the body, releasing inner strength, even through purely online sessions.

I'm a passionate and creative executive coach, with 10+ years experience in working with senior leaders, top talents and high performing teams, in a vast spectrum of industries and sectors, including financial, philanthropy, industrial and entrepreneurial.
A coach, facilitate and convene spaces for courageous leaders, teams and organizations, who are ready for deep shifts.
My work facilitates the conditions for greater awareness, clarity, purpose, influence, adaptability, resilience, creativity, generative and regenerative capacities. Stronger team dynamics and more impactful stakeholders systems form.
My approach is relational, systemic, experiential, co-reflected, co-creative and embodied. My work builds capacity for advanced collaborative and participatory practices in teams and organizations, more equitable power dynamics, inclusion, and systemic transformations.
I leads the design of tailored coaching solutions, i manage key client accounts, and diagnose organizational coaching needs to ensure impactful and strategic partnerships at IMD.
In collaboration with Talent Kick Foundation and Swiss universities, Alessandra has created and is coordinating a country-wide coaching journey to build youth entrepreneurial capacity.
Prior to becoming a coach, I held senior leadership roles in GE across three continents, she has founded a tech start up in Asia and I have managed private companies through mergers, turnarounds and reorganizations.
I often speaks at international conferences. My research on courage and somatic awareness earned academic honors and has been presented at the European Conference of Positive Psychology in 2022. I'm also a scholar at the European School of Governance, where she researches how thriving collectives form.
Presently I live in Switzerland, where I enjoys the beautiful mountains and the breath-taking nature with my two young kids and my Cocker spaniel, Emma.

I did a 3-month program and coaching with Alessandra with my team and found it incredibly productive and impactful. Alessandra helped us to really appreciate our different ways of working and also to take seriously all aspects of work/life balance. We also focused on building resilience. I think the unique approach was how direct, intensive and inter-personal the training was and how it improved various aspects of our personal and professional lives. I would absolutely recommend Alessandra's training and coaching to others who are willing to put in the work and be open to self-reflection and building new perspectives

Alessandra is a highly effective executive coach with a natural charisma that comes from her unique capacity to combine warmth, and empathy with a direct communication style. Her fluid understanding of the client’s needs and complexities come from a great application of her emotional intelligence and her rich leadership experience, across industries and cultures. From this understanding, she can build trajectories and possibilities, supporting the client to transform them into effective leadership behaviors for measurable results. Alessandra is very effective in both individual and team coaching settings and a joy to work with as an executive coach. Alessandra is a passionate, resilient, caring human being. Her intellectual acumen is sharp and she is able to dissect and reassemble a scenario, giving it a whole new life and creating new possibilities for herself and others. She thinks out of the boxes and she can't be with anything else other than her authenticity. Working with Alessandra is fun, engaging and incredibly rewarding. It's a pleasure to witness how quickly and profoundly she takes in new inputs and revert with awesome creations. She doesn't stop until completion and with her energy, she is able to process huge amount of work with outstanding quality I mentor and coach Alessandra while she transitions into a more formal business coaching role using research-based positive psychology and spiritual practices. Her ability to juggle and balance complex experiences and translate them into her business offer is remarkable. I appreciate her multi dimensional, multilingual, multicultural capacity to see beyond current constraints and move into a beautiful new potential reality. She has real lived experience of a true change maker. I look forward to working with her in our emerging global coaching collaboration with other transformative coaches seeking radical change in safe spaces. |
