Coaching shaped by lived experiences and grounded perspective
Micha helped me put my priorities into perspective, drawing on her high-stakes environments on Wall Street to teach me how to manage my energy and set myself up for success.
Her experience equipped me with practical strategies for engaging leadership, focusing on the work that matters most, and communicating in a way that fosters understanding rather than frustration.

I bring a global perspective to career and leadership coaching. Raised across the Middle East, Europe, and the U.S., and shaped by 17 years as an expat in Switzerland with extensive work travel across Latin America, I understand how culture and context influence how professionals lead, communicate, and navigate change.
With more than 30 years in international financial services - including senior roles at AIG and J.P. Morgan - I’ve led teams and clients through complexity, transition, and high‑stakes decision‑making. Through these experiences, one lesson became clear: strategy defines direction, but people determine outcomes.
I partner with individuals navigating career transitions, leadership development, and global or expat‑related challenges. My coaching centers on helping clients cut through noise and identify what could propel them forward so that they may make confident decisions about their careers and leadership paths.
Fluent in English, French, and Spanish - and conversational in Arabic and Italian - I connect easily with people across cultures and professional environments.

Whether I was living and working in different countries, building a career on Wall Street, becoming a scuba instructor, or dancing competitively, what stands out most for me is not how different these experiences are, but how each one revealed something essential about presence, resilience, and the quiet strength found within.
Throughout my leadership journey, I was repeatedly drawn to one aspect of the work: developing people. I saw firsthand how transformative it was when professionals gained clarity about their strengths, voice, and direction. This realization led me to coaching.
Every chapter - whether high-pressure, deeply reflective, or physically immersive - became a mirror. Moving among cultures taught me adaptability. In the fast-paced world of finance, I learned to stay steady amid uncertainty. Underwater, I discovered the power of full presence. In dance, I experienced the importance of connection, communication, and trust. Each experience invited me to pause, listen, and return to a grounded center when life felt chaotic or unbalanced.
This is the foundation of my coaching work.

I work with professionals and executives navigating growth, transition, and increased responsibility - helping them lead with sharper insight, stronger presence, and purposeful direction.
Through our work together, clients explore their inner landscape - mindset, patterns, and beliefs - that influences their decisions, leadership style, and well-being.
We identify areas of misalignment and build practical approaches to restore resilience, purpose, and balance - so they can lead and live in a way that feels intentional, impactful, and sustainable.

As an ICF‑certified coach, I’m trained and held to the highest global standards in the coaching profession. The International Coaching Federation (ICF) is recognized worldwide for its rigorous training, ethical guidelines, and evidence‑based competencies - all designed to ensure clients receive thoughtful, professional, and effective support.
The blend of deep coaching mastery and lived professional experiences allows me to meet clients with both empathy and practicality. I hold space for reflection while also understanding the realities of corporate life, career transitions, and leadership growth. It’s this dual perspective that enables me to support clients in a grounded, meaningful, and results‑oriented way.

At the heart of my coaching is a simple and powerful truth: when we are clear (clarity) about who we are (essence), everything changes. Our decisions become intentional. Our direction becomes purposeful. Our confidence becomes grounded.
From the meeting point of clarity and essence, CLARIENCE was born - a space where individuals gain insight, direction, and the confidence to move forward in a way that is fully their own.
