After gathering more than 25 years work experience in different organizations and cultures as an employee, I choose offering my expertise to the business as an independent consultant and started my own company Conphider in 2016.

With the support of specialized partners within different domains (see partners page) I grew confident that my experience, skills and lessons learned have given me both the necessary insight into Finance & Accounting management and sharpen my interpersonal and team leadership skills, contributing to better performance and results.       

In our approach to enhance both performance and results, we support business to continuously improve on 4 major axes, the “POPS” approach: People, Organization, Process, Systems    

Although working on all 4 axes is important to get to the objectives, the people factor is the most important in order to be successful in any project endeavor. You can have the best strategy and plan in the world, but if you don’t have the hearts and minds of the people who work with you, none of it comes to life. No organization can thrive without teamwork, and nobody makes it to the top alone.

True leaders value and care about the people around them, they take time to understand who their team members are, what they want to achieve and then help them succeed. There is real satisfaction, real beauty, in providing an excellent service as part of a team. “building bridges and growing trust” between people is our passion with Conphider.

To increase collaboration and teamwork, we develop a simple “4C” framework to daily work on Connecting, Communication, Commitment and Care
