MY JOURNEY

WHO I AM
 

I've worked with executives, entrepreneurs, and high-performing teams navigating complexity, growth, and change — helping them make clearer decisions and lead more effectively.

My work has focused on:

  • Supporting leaders through growth and transition

  • Strengthening leadership capabilities

  • Building focused, high-performing cultures

​​

WHERE I COME FROM

Before coaching, I built my career in leadership and consulting roles across Tech, E-commerce, and Travel — including Google during its hyper-growth years in Europe.

I've led teams, supported companies through periods of growth, and worked with organisations to:

  • Scale operations and manage distributed teams

  • Simplify strategy and focus on sustainable growth

  • Develop leadership pipelines for the long term

Alongside leadership roles, I've worked as a consultant on business and digital strategy, giving me a grounded understanding of the pressures leaders face at different stages of growth.

I strongly believe that when people reconnect with what genuinely motivates them, performance improves naturally and sustainably.

I'm a strong advocate of remote work and consider myself a global citizen, having lived and worked in six countries and supported teams across multiple cultures and time zones.

HOW WE CAN WORK TOGETHER

I work 1:1 with leaders and professionals, and with teams through group coaching and workshops. My clients are based around the world, and I accommodate different time zones.

In our work together, I'll help you:

  • Gain clarity on what really matters now

  • Identify what's getting in the way of progress

  • Make focused, intentional decisions about how you work and lead

If you're ready to make meaningful changes in how you work and lead, book a call below or send me an email at coach@serenamartino.com

Taking two steps back and let the team drive operations and having an efficient KPI setup, gives me the needed information to make sure things are running as they should. I can now take time off when I need it.
