Hi! I’m Hilary.

For over 12 years, I've partnered with founders, entrepreneurs, business owners and global leaders across tech startups and multinational organisations, helping them navigate complexity with calm, clarity and confidence.

Throughout my career, I've realised that the part of my work I value most isn't simply getting things done - it's helping people feel less overwhelmed so they can focus on what matters most. That realisation stayed with me and gradually shaped the direction I wanted my career to take.

Over the years, I've been fortunate to live and work in the UK, the Netherlands and now Portugal. Living in three different countries has taught me that some of life's biggest lessons come when we step outside what's familiar. Stepping into the unknown hasn't always been easy, but every move has challenged me, helped me grow, and reminded me that meaningful change often begins with a single brave decision.

Moving to Portugal marked more than a change of country - it marked the beginning of a new chapter in my life. After years of focusing on everyone else's priorities, I finally gave myself the space to reflect on what mattered most to me and the kind of work I wanted to do next.

That experience inspired me to train as a Transformational Coach with Animas. I'm currently completing my ICF-Accredited (ACC) Level 1 coaching qualification and work with a small number of coaching clients as part of my supervised professional practice.

Today, whether I'm supporting a business behind the scenes or coaching someone through a period of transition, my purpose is the same: to create the space, and support people to move forward with confidence and intention.

Outside of work, you'll find me trying to avoid the hills of Lisbon whilst out running, discovering all the reformer Pilates studios in the city, searching for the best pastel de nata, or planning my next adventure.
