About me

Home is Amsterdam where I live with my husband, son & three grown-up step kids.

One of the best decisions in my life was to embrace a ‘late life’ professional U-turn & start working in change management. I love the openness and connection this work needs.

Year round open water swimming is ‘my thing’. The pictures on this website depict some of my favorite swimming spots.

My travels

After obtaining my Law degree I travelled solo in Africa, Asia and Australia for several years. This was a formative experience; pre-mobile phones & internet I had to fully emerge locally. This ‘time-out’ shaped my outlook on life and at times provides a helpful reframe for clients.

To fund my travels I did casual work in Australia, marketing assignments in South Africa (in the post Apartheid era), lived in the bush working for Londolozi game reserve for 6 months and worked as a qualified white water river guide in Austria & Nepal for two years.
