Leading a global tech team can be tough. I help you do it without burning out.
If you are a high tech leader stretched thin, pulled in every direction, juggling cultures and markets, or working hard without being seen, you are in the right place. I help you step up, energize your team, and earn the recognition you deserve.

About you
You have been carrying a lot
You have built a strong career in tech, led complex projects and teams, driven innovation and business results. People expect you to stay steady and deliver. But lately, the pressure has increased and the environment has become less predictable. You might be:
Icon representing achievement and recognition in leadership roles.
Working on a promotion or stepping into a bigger role
 Icon symbolizing guidance through career transitions and decision-making.
Navigating change and organization complexity
Icon depicting energy management and resilience in professional settings.
Moving fast, but feeling low on clarity and energy
Icon indicating exploration of career direction and purpose.
Wondering if your current path still fits who you are
I work with you at moments like these, when the pressure is high and the way forward isn’t clear.  When you wake up at 3am wondering what decision to make, how to be heard, or how longer you can keep going.

At times, it feels like you are navigating through the fog
I took this photo in San Francisco, where thick fog descends and then lifts almost suddenly to reveal what was always there. Change can feel the same. You move through it disoriented, overloaded, unsure of your next step. Then gradually, things begin to make more sense and the path slowly comes into focus.
If you are going through a transition and things feel unclear, I help you pause, reconnect, and make confident decisions that align with your core values and with your professional goals.

About me
I have built my career across cultures and borders
Before becoming a coach, I spent 30+ years leading global teams, scaling tech products, and driving growth across Europe, the US, and Latin America. That experience showed me that cultural intelligence is just as critical as strategy, and confirmed what Erin Meyer illustrates in her book "The Culture Map": how we lead, decide, and collaborate can vary widely across cultures.

If you work in global markets or lead cross-cultural teams, I help you decode conflict, communicate more effectively, and adapt to different ways of thinking and working, so collaboration doesn't get lost in translation

I have learned how to stay grounded under pressure
Years of international leadership taught me how to align teams, and lead through complexity. But it was freediving, along with yoga and somatics, that taught me how to regulate my nervous system, stay present and focus on what I can actually control. These practices don’t just work underwater, they help in high-pressure roles and everyday life.

If you are feeling overwhelmed and your batteries are running low, I can share simple tools and techniques to manage stress, recharge your energy, and stay focused in fast-moving environments.

It was an absolute pleasure to be mentored by Valeria. I truly appreciated her open-mindedness and positive approach.

Additionally, she gave me valuable advice in creating a clearer strategy for personal branding. Overall, the sessions exceeded my expectations, and I would highly recommend Valeria as a mentor
