Hi, I am Maria

I am Executive Coach ICF.

I help leaders elevate how they think, communicate, and perform — so they can drive real results.

My background is in leading Marketing for global brands like Levi’s, and The North Face — shaping strategy, teams, and campaigns across the EMEA region.

As a seasoned expat, I know what it’s like to lead through change and navigate different cultures. That experience, combined with corporate leadership and coaching, inspired me to create AQ — a space where modern leaders grow through clarity, emotional intelligence, and self-awareness.

Maria supported me through these complexities. Her coaching not only helped me to fine-tune my interpersonal skills but also boosted my confidence and gave me a clear framework for planning and achieving my goals.
