“What we cannot imagine, cannot come into being” - Bell Hooks

CO-FOUNDER
Grounded in people, energised by possibility
I am committed to creating work environments that recognise and leverage the unique strengths of individuals within organisations.
American-born and now a fully converted Brussels-based local, I bring a strong appreciation for multicultural work and lived experience, and I speak authentically about its challenges and opportunities. I am dedicated to helping teams thrive across diverse contexts.
My career reflects deep curiosity and a broad, interdisciplinary skill set, with more than 12 years of experience spanning tax accounting, international development, refugee resettlement and integration, and the management of large, publicly funded grants across global projects. This diverse background has shaped me into a versatile generalist, able to navigate complexity, connect ideas across sectors, and adapt quickly to new challenges.
I am known for my passion, energy, and relentless curiosity for how things can be improved.
Across every chapter of my work, one constant remains: a focus on people and how they create meaningful impact. This perspective continues to guide my approach and the value I bring to every organisation I support.

My favourite kind of conversations are the ones that start with “this might sound crazy, but…”

CO-FOUNDER
Rooted in equity, obsessed with useful process
My work starts with people, stays with people, and keeps coming back to how work is experienced. For me, that means paying close attention to how structures, decisions, and habits land in practice.
Brusselair by adoption, with Swiss, Brazilian, and Chadian roots, I bring a strong sensitivity to context, power, and difference into my work. Living and working across cultures has shaped how I ask questions, how I listen, and how I approach organisational realities, with care and realism rather than assumptions.
I’ve spent over 15 years working across people and operations, often in environments where structures were still taking shape and intentions didn’t always translate cleanly into practice. My experience spans NGOs, start-ups, and complex, matrixed organisations, staying close to the decisions and trade-offs that shape how work actually gets done.
Much of my work has focused on how roles, processes, and decisions are set up, and what that makes possible – or difficult - for people day to day.
I am known for my direct communication and a strong bias for action.
Across all of this, one thing has stayed constant: a belief that well-designed systems create space for people to focus, contribute, and stay engaged over the long term.
