Leadership Development Designed To Elevate Your Confidence, Strategy and Influence.
HI, I'M NELLY
Certified leadership coach, programme designer, and facilitator supporting Global Majority women to lead with confidence, presence, and impact at senior and executive levels.
I work with women who are navigating complex systems, stepping into greater visibility, or preparing for senior leadership — and with organisations committed to building leadership cultures where diverse leaders can truly thrive.
WHY I DO THIS WORK...
Because Global Majority women are still significantly underrepresented in senior and executive leadership spaces — not due to a lack of talent or ambition, but because access, opportunity, and support are uneven.
Over years of working closely with leaders and organisations, including more than 12 years implementing senior leadership development initiatives across global brands, I became increasingly aware of who was — and wasn’t — present in senior leadership spaces. The absence of Black women at those levels was striking, not because the talent wasn’t there, but because the pathways and support often weren’t.
That disconnect stayed with me.
In 2018, I became a certified coach, encouraged by senior leaders who recognised my leadership and the impact of my work with teams. At the same time, I couldn’t find the kind of leadership coaching I had been searching for — support that understood identity, context, and the unspoken realities of navigating senior spaces as a woman of colour. As a bilingual coach working across Francophone and Anglophone contexts, I had seen how leadership expectations shift across cultures, and how rarely those nuances were reflected in leadership development.
So I decided to become the coach I was looking for.
Today, my work sits at the intersection of leadership development, identity, and equity.
I support Global Majority women to navigate senior and executive leadership with clarity, confidence, and presence — and I partner with organisations committed to closing the representation gap in thoughtful, meaningful ways. This work is about readiness, visibility, and sustainability: supporting women to rise without self-erasure, and supporting organisations to develop leadership cultures that reflect the diversity of the workforce.
That is the work I am here to do.
