Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.

Yesim Gozen – Executive and Leadership Development Coach
As an Executive and Leadership Development Coach, I’m passionate about empowering leaders to uncover their authentic selves, build cohesive teams, and drive lasting organizational success. With over two decades of leadership experience at the pinnacles of the technology industry—working with organizations like Google, Microsoft, Oracle, and dynamic startups—I’ve had the privilege of guiding and working with cross-functional teams across diverse cultures. This extensive experience has given me a deep understanding of leadership dynamics, organizational transformation, and the challenges leaders face at every level.
Alongside my corporate background, I am a certified coach from the renowned INSEAD International Executive Coaching Programme (ICC). My coaching practice is rooted in this advanced training, which equips me with cutting-edge frameworks and methodologies to help leaders achieve personal and professional transformation. Over the years, I have coached numerous executives, and I’m proud of the proven results: helping leaders enhance their leadership impact, gain clarity in their career paths, and unlock their full potential—even when they felt stuck.
I believe my combined expertise in corporate leadership and coaching uniquely positions me to support you on your authentic journey, helping you navigate challenges and reach your highest potential.

My Vision
I believe that true leadership goes beyond titles and roles—it’s about authenticity, emotional intelligence, and the ability to connect with and inspire others. My vision is to support leaders who are driven not just by results, but by the desire to foster deeper relationships, build motivated teams, and create lasting change within their organizations. I am committed to helping you not only elevate your leadership skills but also enhance the impact you have on your team, your organization, and your career.
MY EXPERTISE
Having worked with senior leaders and global teams in some of the world’s most influential companies, I understand the unique challenges executives face: navigating power dynamics, handling career development in high-pressure environments, and leading teams through change and transformation. My extensive corporate experience , along with my INSEAD coaching training, allows me to easily connect with your challenges, whether you are facing leadership transitions, managing teams across diverse cultures, or driving organizational change. My goal is to help you turn these challenges into opportunities for growth and success.
My Approach
Every person is unique therefore every coaching session needs to be bespoke and tailored to the needs of the client. I believe that leadership is a continuous journey of growth and self-awareness. My coaching philosophy is grounded in the belief that true transformation begins with understanding yourself better. This means acknowledging your strengths and weaknesses, confronting limiting beliefs, and developing a more resilient, authentic approach to leadership. I believe in creating a safe environment where you feel empowered to explore, experiment, and grow—whether that means expanding your leadership toolkit, reframing your approach to challenges, or learning how to inspire others in a more meaningful way.
