Diverse team collaboration

Cultural Translator of Leadership

Leadership is not about authority — it's about understanding.

I help people discover how culture and identity influence the way we lead, connect, and thrive — transforming leadership into a tool for life, not just for work.

Global HR • Leadership • Identity

I am a global HR leader, trainer, and mentor with more than 20 years of experience guiding organizations across Europe through transformation, cultural integration, and leadership development. My expertise spans European labor law, cross-cultural team management, HR operations, and change management — but what truly defines me is my passion for human psychology, identity, authenticity, and personal growth.

Over the years, I have had the privilege of working alongside inspiring leaders across countries, sectors, and cultures. Living in different countries and speaking French, English, Russian, Italian, and Ukrainian has not only enriched my professional expertise but also shaped me as a woman and a leader.

Areas of Expertise

Bridging cultures, identities, and leadership through innovative approaches

With over two decades of experience in European HR leadership, I specialize in decoding the intricate layers of labor law, cultural norms, and organizational dynamics across borders.

  • Country-specific HR insights across France and EU member states
  • Strategic support in aligning HR operations with national and EU legal requirements
  • Cross-cultural team dynamics and workplace etiquette
  • Ongoing analysis of HR trends and legal changes across Europe

Leadership Academy

Rooted in cognitive psychology and global experience, my Leadership Academy empowers individuals to lead with authenticity, empathy, and strategic insight through personality assessments and identity-based development.

  • Cross-cultural leadership to thrive across borders and communication styles
  • Identity-based development fostering self-awareness and authenticity
  • Cognitive psychology principles for enhanced decision-making and emotional intelligence

Inclusive HR Practices

I help companies move beyond compliance to create truly inclusive cultures where every individual feels seen, valued, and empowered through identity-conscious policies and culturally attuned practices.

  • Inclusive recruitment through equitable, bias-aware hiring practices
  • Identity-conscious policies honoring neurodiversity and intersectionality
  • Team dynamics optimization for psychological safety across diverse teams
  • Cultural integration programs bridging differences through training and engagement

Style is more than aesthetics — it's a mirror of identity, a tool for influence, and a language of leadership. I help professionals use style as a strategic asset for confidence, clarity, and impact.

  • Leadership archetypes exploring how style reflects different personas
  • Professional presence building a wardrobe that enhances authority and approachability
  • Identity expression using fashion to embody values and professional aspirations
  • Style psychology workshops on the cognitive and emotional impact of clothing
