I deeply believe we already carry within us what we need to move forward. Sometimes you just need someone to help you see it — that's my whole job.
Over more than twenty years of professional life, including over fifteen in international finance, I held positions of responsibility and led international teams in demanding environments. I learned what it means to decide under pressure, to grow people, and to hold a course when everything is shifting. And like everyone, I've been through my own turning points — that's part of what I draw on too.
What I loved most in all those years wasn't finance. It was the people.
Guiding someone toward their own breakthrough — seeing a person dare, understand themselves, then set off — is what drives me most. So I founded DKN to make it my work, bringing together the two things I know how to do: listening like a coach, and guiding like a mentor — with what both my career and my own life have taught me.
Today I coach online and in person, with a method of my own: The DKN Method.
A runner, too
Running is part of who I am — an ASICS ambassador, I run regularly and share that side of me on @bankirun. A discipline that has taught me a lot about consistency, the right effort, and carrying on even when it's hard.
