I’m Matthew North, a British and Swiss HR leader turned coach, with a passion for helping people and the planet thrive. With a highly successful career spanning over 25 years, I’ve held leadership roles across top-tier organizations, rising through numerous promotions to serve as both Head of HR and Head of Sustainability. My journey has been defined by impactful transformations, from reducing CO2 emissions to developing high-performance cultures that empower individuals to excel and grow. I’m driven by a commitment to creating environments where people feel supported, engaged, and able to reach their full potential.

Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of living and working in multiple countries, including the UK, Switzerland, Russia, India, and the USA, and I’ve traveled to many more on business. These global experiences have given me a unique perspective on leadership, resilience, and cultural understanding—qualities I now bring into my coaching practice. My approach is shaped not only by my professional background but also by my personal journey, including a transformative, year-long family sailing adventure across the Atlantic. Navigating from the Mediterranean to the Caribbean and back, we faced challenging weather, complex navigation, and the realities of life at sea, which deepened my resilience and adaptability. On land, my passion for adventure has led me to summit the highest peaks in Africa and Europe—experiences that reinforced the importance of preparation, perseverance, and embracing challenges.

As a coach, I’m here to empower you to reach purposeful success—whether that’s advancing your career, enhancing your leadership skills, or achieving a balanced, fulfilling life. My mission is to help you set meaningful goals that align with your values and create positive change for both yourself and the world around you. Together, we’ll craft a path forward that blends ambition with well-being and leaves a lasting, positive impact.
