Adriana Georgescu | Executive & Team Coach
Most leaders I work with aren't stuck because they lack skill. They're stuck because everyone around them has a stake in the conversation — and they can feel it, even if they can't name it.
About Me
Before coaching, I spent 20+ years inside global organisations like Mars and Nokia — managing the friction between Sales and Logistics, navigating legal bottlenecks, absorbing mid-quarter priority changes from leadership. When you describe your situation, I'm not guessing what it feels like. I've been in versions of that room myself.ICF Master Certified Coach — one of fewer than 5% of coaches globally holding this credential. 15+ years of coaching experience.
How I Coach
Most leaders I work with aren't stuck because they lack skill. They're stuck because everyone around them has a stake in the conversation — and they can feel it, even if they can't name it.That's what I help with. I'm the person with no stake in your org chart and no agenda except clarity. My job is to notice what you can't see from inside your situation — the pattern your team keeps repeating, the decision that won't resolve itself, the strength you're using in the wrong context that looks like a weakness.I'm direct, but not in the way that puts people on the defensive. Clients describe the experience as honest but impossible to fight — because I'm rarely pointing out what's wrong. More often, I'm showing you where something you think is a flaw is actually a rational response to a broken context, or where you're already doing something well that you haven't recognised yet. People tend to leave our conversations feeling clearer and more confident — not one at the expense of the other.
Clients
I've coached leaders at Microsoft, Amazon, Salesforce, Deloitte, EY, Boeing, Maersk, and others — typically inside global, matrix-structured organisations where complexity is the operating environment, not the exception. Focus areas include strategic transitions, high-stakes decision-making, executive presence, and team performance.
