Hi, I am Maria

Maria Belitskaya, Executive Coach, in a black and white sitting portrait

I am Executive Coach ICF ACC.

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

My background is in leading Marketing and Creative for global brands like Quiksilver, 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 bold decisions.

  • “Transitioning from a regional to a global role brought a unique set of challenges, especially in understanding and navigating interpersonal dynamics across different cultures. 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. This combination enabled me to communicate and lead more effectively.
