Our journey
It started with a burnout I did not see coming.
Four years at Google in Dublin. Managing a portfolio of thirty million euros. Hitting every target. In August 2024, I could not work at all.
What I found in that period: I had been performing a version of myself I built for someone else. The patterns that burned me out are the same ones I see running unexamined in the scale-ups I work with, where the culture cannot keep pace with the growth. That is not a coincidence. It is what makes this work feel like home.
I work below the surface. I start with measurement, not assumptions. I name what is not being said. I believe sensitivity is a strength. I do not fix teams, I show them what is in the way.
Every partnership begins with the Culture Check. I measure first. I listen. Then I propose. Always bespoke. Always directly with me.
What I believe
Sensitivity is a strength. Most leaders have spent years hiding theirs. The undercurrent is always louder than the strategy. The breakthroughs usually happen when someone laughs.
How I work
Every programme begins with the Culture Scan. I measure first. I listen. Then I propose. Never the other way around. Always directly with Mees.
