About Virginia

Doctor of Management, psychoanalyst & senior executive coach. 25 years of international experience in Europe, Latin America and Australia.
I support you in moments when leadership becomes complex: difficult new role, expatriation, organizational transformation, burnout, crisis of meaning, or career reinvention.
My approach is unique: it combines the academic rigor of a PhD in Management (Paris-Dauphine), the clinical depth of psychoanalysis, and advanced specialization in transcultural clinical practice (Université Paris Cité). Trilingual in French, English, Portuguese.
What I bring you:
A structured, confidential, and transformative work environment to develop your authority, strengthen your resilience, clarify your blind spots, and embody leadership aligned with your values in multicultural and high-pressure environments.
My typical missions: individual coaching of leaders, mentoring of senior managers, international team coaching, organizational health advisory, and psychosocial risk management at the executive level.
