« They did not know it was impossible, so they did it »

I have developed over the years a coaching and consulting practice for individuals and organizations focused on putting energies in motion to reinforce leadership, impact and transformations. Each mission is both:
Of Egyptian and Lebanese descent, born in the United States, living in France and coming from a family of successful entrepreneurs in all parts of the world, diversity and entrepreneurship are part of my DNA.
Lawyer, member of the Paris Bar, I practiced in the world of international business in law firms and at Cisco Systems. As a counsel and member of Executive Boards, I worked with passion on large strategic partnerships as well as transformation projects. Stakeholders were diverse by nationality/culture/business. Environments, opportunities and constraints were constantly changing.
Embracing fully the role of a business partner, I developed alongside my legal training, an expertise in change management and in leading innovation projects. In 2011, I decided to pursue these new skills by dedicating my work to professional coaching and consulting and created my own firm, Evolvio.
Evolvio and its selective network of partners offer coaching, consulting and training services to executives, managers, teams and organizations in various industries.
To address the full spectrum of our clients’ needs whether it be on a specific subject matter or because working in another language is required, Evolvio partners with coaches and experts in other fields: public speaking, finance, digitalization, negotiation, mediation, etc. In particular, I work closely with an independent worldwide digital observatory Netexplo and with a consulting firm Ososim, specialized in designing on-line programs and simulations for learning, recruitment and assessment.
I also teach organizational transformation in a leading engineering school CentraleSupelec and leadership and coaching skills for managers and coaches in an accredited school in Paris IFOD.
I passed the Paris Bar, hold a Master in Business Law (Paris I – La Sorbonne) as well as a Master in Business Coaching (International Mozaik). Year after year, I continue to enhance my skills and knowledge (Systemic approach, Gestalt, NLP, Transactional Analysis, Assessment through Culture and Values, Ericksonian Hypnosis, Design Thinking, Psychometric Assessment Tools). I am certified with the International Coach Federation and am supervised.
Individual Coaching
I work with leaders and managers to maximize fully their potential and enable them to achieve their individual and collective goals. We explore their singularities, talents and more challenging traits with the intention of applying them to the value-add they can bring for themselves and their organization. Key words are lucidity, ambition, creativity and benevolence. Sessions involve the use of various techniques as well as assessment and coaching tools.
Some examples:
Entering a new leadership position, developing strategic leadership skills, stress management, leading a major transformation, opening the next chapter.
Team & Organizational
Coaching
Team & Organizational Coaching
I work with teams, business units and large companies on their transformation(s) whether organizational, cultural and/or digital. Together we revisit their strategy and vision to ensure alignment between individual projects and the collective one, a logic of cooperation at all levels and the appropriation of a mindset focused on agility and continuous learning.
Over a period of several months or during one event, we will aim at raising powerful questions, turning ideas into actions and setting new goals.
Some examples:
Coaching of a Board of Directors, annual seminar, acquisition integration, creating and implementing a new values’ charter in the organization.
Innovative Curriculums
Innovative Curriculums
I enjoy exploring new ideas with my clients and designing innovative programs. These programs can take the form of seminars, trainings, development journeys or organizational transformation programs.
Some examples:
A customized journey around leadership and impact, a company-wide transformational program focused on digitalization and new forms of management, project managing second generation CSR projects.
