I build the structures that let ambitious teams move fast without falling apart — leading multi-million euro programmes, sitting at the right hand of executives, and translating strategy into the disciplined systems that make it real.
My work lives at the intersection of order and momentum. I am equally comfortable in a boardroom, a project war room, and a blank-page planning session. My practice is grounded in both deep operational experience and rigorous academic formation — holding an ENEB Dual MBA in Project Management, an MBA in Team Management and Leadership, an Executive Leadership Programme from Oxford Saïd Business School, and the McKinsey Forward Leadership Programme.
After years embedded inside some of Europe's most demanding organisations, I founded Opus to bring that same calibre of programme management and executive support to leaders who need more than a coordinator — they need a trusted operator.
Discipline is not a practice. I walk into complexity and bring order to it — not because I was asked to, but because it's intrinsic.
She makes the impossible possible.
Proactive, and always ready to take the right initiatives.
She knows how to put a house in order.
So leaders can lead, organisations can move, and nothing falls through the cracks. Every programme, every executive partnership, every system I build is grounded in both operational mastery and rigorous academic formation across Oxford Saïd, McKinsey Forward Leadership Programme, and a Dual MBA in Project Management and Team Management and Leadership — creating the freedom to execute with confidence.
Opus exists to be that capability: a partner that thinks like a strategist, works like a precision instrument, and holds the line so you don't have to.
Four programmes. Each one chosen deliberately — to sharpen a different dimension of the work I do.
A rigorous dual MBA combining end-to-end project management methodology with the science of building and leading high-performance teams. The academic foundation of everything I deliver operationally.
Oxford's research-led programme in leadership strategy, change management, and organisational design — covering how leaders navigate ambidexterity, build high-performance systems, and lead with authentic purpose under complexity.
McKinsey's practitioner programme in structured problem-solving, analytical decision-making, and communicating for impact — the toolkit that gives every programme I run its clarity of thinking and precision of output.
Whether you need someone to run complex programmes end-to-end, sit alongside your executive leadership, or architect your PMO from the ground up — Opus brings senior-level capability from day one.
