what blocks you

You tried a few things but 

  • You still feel stuck in your project

  • Your work does not feel recognized and it is hard to advocate for yourself

  • You have many priorities to juggle with

  • You struggle to communicate with non-technical stakeholders and influence decisions

  • You are already working too much and can not add more to your plate

  • You feel the need to delegate but have a hard time doing it

  • You’re not sure what the next level is for you? You realize you are not sure where you want your career to go

How coaching can help you

In the fast-paced tech world, it's challenging to step back and reflect on your path and next steps. Coaching provides a dedicated space to pause, gain clarity, and refocus on your goals. Unlike speaking with a manager or peers, coaching offers a unique, non-judgmental and safe environment that helps you explore your challenges, identify strengths, and uncover blind spots.

What makes my coaching approach unique is that it’s tailored to the realities of the tech industry. With over 20 years of experience as a tech professional —from individual contributor to team lead— I understand the nuances of both technical and business environments. I bring practical insights and strategies relevant to your world.

About Me
alice_public_headshot.jpg

Hi, I’m Alice, a certified performance and leadership coach with a passion for helping tech professionals unlock their true potential.

After more than 20 years in software engineering—across academia, Google, and startups—I began asking myself not what I should be doing, but what I really wanted to do. I realized that while I still love technology, my true passion is in the human side of it—the people and connections that make everything possible. That’s when I shifted my focus from debugging systems to supporting the people behind them. Now, I consider myself a “human debugger.”

My mission is to help you amplify your impact at work while enjoying the process. I believe that deep down, we all know what’s best for us—we just need the right space and support to uncover it.

My coaching is grounded in values that mean a lot to me: respect, fairness, diversity, and collaboration.

Based in Paris, I offer coaching in both English and French, either remotely or in person.

What my clients say:

I found a new breadth of soft skills that I can practice and improve at: resolving conflicts under stress, aligning management with ICs, bridging the gap in understanding between my collaborators and ultimately influencing what's within my reach. Alice has a skill of walking through a complex situation (often emotionally charged and challenging for me), and raising guiding questions that would help me organize my thoughts and feelings. Once I learned to dissect the situations this way, it opened my mind to see others' perspectives more clearly, and focus on what matters for me at work.

I appreciated that Alice taught me skills without ever telling me what to do, but rather gently helping to stay on track throughout every coaching session.

I had several coaches and mentors in the past, Alice's work is at a different level.​
