Executive & Team Coaching | Strategic Business Consulting
Former CFO & Board Member | €5B+ Experience
I help executives and organizations navigate growth, transitions, and complex challenges through a unique combination of strategic business expertise and proven coaching methodologies.
After financing €3B+ and developing €5B+ deals, wide experience in the C-suite and boardrooms, and leading cross-cultural teams through high-stakes transactions, I understand both the strategic challenges you face and the human dynamics that determine whether execution succeeds or stalls.
You have brilliant plans but execution feels stuck.
You have talented people but teams aren't aligned.
You want transformation but can't create lasting change.
The missing piece? Self-awareness—from leadership decisions to team dynamics to organizational culture. It's not the "soft stuff." It's your competitive edge.
Strategy Without Alignment Doesn't Work
Strategy + People = Sustainable Results
Most consultants understand strategy OR people. After 18 years in business, including past 10 years in CFO and Board Member roles, then becoming a certified executive and team coach, I bring both.

INTEGRATED APPROACH

What Clients Say
"My coaching engagement with Elif provided a real transformation in my leadership journey and personal awareness. Much of our work was designed to be application-oriented; progressing through real-life events from my own life allowed me to gain insight and see my areas for development more clearly. During the transformation process, directly implementing short-term goals and observing results quickly further increased my motivation.
Listing concrete steps for areas I felt I was lacking was also invaluable. An interesting takeaway was realizing how I hadn't been able to look at myself from an outside perspective; I hadn't noticed that I was already implementing some aspects of my leadership that I wanted to improve.
Thanks to Elif's supportive and inspiring approach, I was able to see my potential much more clearly. I sincerely thank her for this journey."
- Irmak, Owner, Patent & Trademark Industry
"My conversations with Elif have allowed me to step back from the hustle and bustle of professional life and take a broader look at myself and my work. This has enabled me to plan my tasks more easily and adopt a more stakeholder-focused approach. I've also gained an awareness that communicating what I do to others is just as important as the work itself.”
- Yamaç, IT & Infrastructure Manager, Dogadan, an affiliate of Coca-Cola
“Elif became my coach during a pivotal stage in my life, and her continued guidance has been truly transformative. She creates a safe space to explore my challenges and aspirations, asking the right questions that leads to clarity in both my career and personal life.
Her mix of sharp strategic thinking and deep empathy helped me overcome obstacles that once felt overwhelming and to move forward with renewed purpose.
Elif is an exceptional coach and a true partner in personal growth - I can’t recommend her enough.”
- Patience, HR Business Advisor, Banking Industry
"During a time when I was struggling to prioritize amidst my increasing responsibilities, [coaching] helped me recognize my thought patterns and distinguish between what I could control and what I couldn't. A single word or aphorism we found in each session allowed me to grasp the essence of the conversation. These phrases stayed with me after the sessions and became compasses I frequently reminded myself of in my daily life. This process, which progressed without judgment, with the right questions and by providing a safe space, contributed to clearer communication and more balanced decision-making. These gains have helped me develop a more mindful stance in both my professional and personal life. Thank you for all the support.”
- Umut, Operational Excellence Manager, Dogadan, an affiliate of Coca-Cola
"Thanks to you, during the coaching process, I clarified my goals and experienced significant improvements in my communication. I achieved more effective results both at work and in my personal life. The greatest contribution was that your questions helped me gain self-awareness. Thank you.”
- Client, Dogadan, an affiliate of Coca-Cola
"…I learned that no matter how the winds blow, I need to continue to grow and transform myself within them. I gained the awareness that instead of clinging to emotions, I need to let them go. As my stress and anxiety at work decreased, I also found the same relaxation and peace in my personal life. Thank you so much for always approaching me with empathy, closely following my feelings and thoughts, and guiding me throughout the process…”
