Sparring with someone who has led themselves.

Coaching for people who carry responsibility: in new roles, in transformations, under pressure.

I coach leaders from the experience of having led myself, most recently as CEO, after 17 years building, restructuring and transforming organisations. Not advice from the sidelines, but a confidential counterpart who knows the weight of the decisions, and the loneliness of the role.

Who this is for

New to a bigger role

The first hundred days carry further than they appear. A counterpart who spots the patterns before they set in.

C-level and executive leadership

A confidential counterpart outside your own organisation, exactly where no one internally still pushes back honestly.

Transformation and handover

Leading while the ground is shifting: restructuring, merger, an interim phase, succession.

Leadership teams under pressure

Clarifying roles, dynamics and decision-making pathways when the leadership level itself is being rebuilt.

I coach from the experience of having led myself.

The same systemic method I use to restructure organisations, focused on the individual leader.

How I work

Systemically trained at master's level. I don't just look at the person, but at the system in which they lead: roles, expectations, dynamics, decision-making pathways. The same perspective KIEN applies to organisations, focused on a single leader.

Concrete rather than therapeutic, confidential rather than accommodating, without esotericism. We work on the decisions in front of you, and how you arrive at them, not on an idealised self-image.
