Ways we can work together

Based in Lisbon, Portugal, I work with clients around the world via Zoom, as well as in person across Lisbon and the surrounding areas.

Whether you're looking for a trusted strategic partner for your business or a dedicated space to navigate change in your personal or professional life, I offer two ways we can work together.

At the heart of both is the same belief: that when we create space for clarity, structure and reflection, we're better able to move forward with confidence and intention.

  • Helping leaders create space to focus on what matters most.

    Running a business comes with constant demands, competing priorities and never ending to do lists. Sometimes, what you need isn't simply another pair of hands - it's a trusted partner who understands how to bring structure to complexity and keep things moving.

    With more than 12 years' experience supporting founders, entrepreneurs and global leaders across startups and multinational organisations, I provide proactive, strategic support that enables you to focus on leading your business.

    I can support you with:

    • Executive partnership

    • Confidential executive support

    • Calendar, inbox & priority management

    • Travel planning & itinerary management

    • Board support, meetings, agendas & follow ups

    • Project coordination & operational support

    • Stakeholder, investor & client liaison

    • Research, presentations & documentation

    • Special projects including private & lifestyle support

  • A dedicated space to pause, reflect and move forward.

    Whether you're navigating a career change, adjusting to a new chapter, feeling stuck or simply looking for greater clarity, transformational coaching provides the opportunity to challenge your thinking and explore what comes next.

    As a Transformational Coach in training with Animas, I currently work with a small number of clients as part of my supervised professional practice.

    Coaching isn't about giving advice or telling you what to do. It's about creating the conditions for you to uncover your own answers and move forward with greater confidence.

    Coaching may be right for you if...

    • You're at a crossroads in your career or life.

    • You're feeling stuck or overwhelmed.

    • You're looking to reconnect with what matters most.

    • You want greater confidence in your decisions.

    • You'd value dedicated time and space to think.

    What to expect

    A coaching session is a confidential, non-judgemental conversation designed entirely around you. My role isn't to provide the answers, but to help you uncover them for yourself through thoughtful questions, reflection and exploration.

    I’m currently completing my ICF-accredited ACC coaching qualification. During this stage of my practice, I offer coaching at an introductory rate, with a limited number of donation-based sessions also available. Please get in touch to discuss what would work best for you.

Not sure which is right for you?

Whether you're looking for strategic support in your business or curious about coaching, I'd love to have a conversation.

Let's connect

  • "Hilary is absolutely awesome – and I don't use that term lightly. She's productive, pays attention to the detail but also gets the bigger picture of what's trying to be accomplished."

    Former boss (Entrepeneur)

  • "Hilary is simply the BEST. Her attention to detail, sharp way of thinking, energy, integrity and organisation is fantastic. Her deep understanding of the team dynamics was also very impressive and highly helpful. Since working with her, I reclaimed at least a day of my week to focus on strategic issues."
