Trusted private advisor to executive women in finance

The problem was never your performance.

For the woman who has done everything right, hit every number, and is tired of being told she is "almost there".

What you get is the influence the title was supposed to carry, the promotion and pay conversation run on your terms, and clarity on what you actually want next. Private advisory from someone who has held your seat.

What is actually going on

You are performing the wrong version of yourself.

I am not going to tell you that you need fixing, or that the answer is another leadership course, or more confidence.

Because, no matter how many leadership courses you take, you still will be told that you are too aggressive when you speak up, and too soft when you do not.

I have been through the same journey and I know that, sometimes, the only way to survive was to perform the version of you that the room needed, and you got so good at it you forgot you were performing.

Being agreeable, performing at 120% so nobody ever questions you, staying quiet when you actually have a lot to say, and then replaying conversations in your head at 2am and beating yourself up. All of this is exhausting, is it not?

Who this is for

You will recognise yourself somewhere in here.

Maybe you assumed, for years, that your results would speak for themselves, that someone had a plan for you, and it turned out nobody did, the promotion went elsewhere and now you are the one they take for granted.

Maybe you have just stepped into the role you wanted, and you are spending the first year proving you deserve it.

Or maybe you are on the board, and there is no one to think out loud with.

And if you are doing well, maybe there is a quiet question: is this it?

What becomes possible

Not just relief. The woman you get to be after.

  • Your name in the decisions, not in the recap. The remit widens, and the room moves when you speak.
  • The promotion conversation and the number, run by you, with an answer ready for the push back.
  • Clarity on what you actually want next, the seat, the board portfolio, or the exit, with your hard nos written down.
  • A life alongside the job. Sleep, time you do not have to steal, and fulfilment that is not all coming from work.
  • Enough earned confidence to stop rehearsing the sentence before you say it.

Are we the right fit

Not every level needs a Private Advisor.

Best suited for women at or near the most senior level of their firm, including board roles. If you are not yet at that stage, I am always glad to have the conversation, but I might refer you to someone who fits your level better for now.

Three ways to engage with me. Choose what works for you.

Tier 1 is the diagnostic. Tier 2 fixes one acute issue fast, then builds your personalised gameplan. Tier 3 is the full strategic journey.

Tier 1

The Performance Diagnostic Call

Free. A private conversation where we assess your situation, confidential from the first minute.

Outcome

We surface your overall goal and your most pressing problem. You leave with two recommended routes for a personalised path forward.

Format

45-minute 1:1 with Irini. Written 1 to 2 page diagnostic report within 48 hours.

Tier 2

The 30-Day Sprint

A focused month together, to work through one specific request. Can be an upcoming bonus conversation and how to handle it. Or you have an important meeting/presentation coming up and want to be 100% prepared for it.

Outcome

A clear gameplan for your overall goal, and one acute pressure point worked end-to-end.

Format

Four 60-minute weekly sessions over 30 days. Sessions 1 to 3 fix one acute issue end-to-end. Session 4 is the root cause diagnostic and personalised career gameplan. Daily WhatsApp access. Written 30-Day Sprint Analysis & Career Gameplan Document at the close.

Tier 3

Own Who You Are

6-month Private Advisory to work on a bigger goal: promotion to the next level, performing in the new role after promotion, or transitioning out of finance/current job.

Outcome

A structured, personalised private advisory journey to your overarching goal.

Format

Month 1: four 60-minute weekly sessions to build the gameplan and resolve the most pressing pressure. Months 2 to 6: ten 90-minute sessions on a bi-weekly cadence. WhatsApp access between sessions.

I know your world.

You are not hiring a coach who reads about your industry. You are hiring an insider. Fourteen years in private wealth at Morgan Stanley, two as a Director at Credit Suisse, then two as Executive Director at FSG, and a certified professional coach.

I do not need the carry pool or the bonus cycle explained to me. So you will not spend the first month teaching me your world. We start at the level you actually operate at, in week one.

That is the difference between a coach and a trusted advisor. I am not here to hold a mirror up and ask how it feels. I tell you what I see, I tell you what I would do, and I stay in it with you until it is done.

"I thought I was handling the pressure well, but, at some point, I started feeling anxious in meetings. The anxiety got so bad that it started affecting my performance. So glad a friend recommended Irini. Needless to say, the anxiety is gone, and we started preparing my application for the C-suite role."
