Leading Remote Work Travel Experts

I believe that remote work is table stakes. A great remote culture and the recruitment marketing chops to tell about it will be the key differentiator for employer brands in the talent market going forward. I love to make hiring a delightful experience for everyone involved. Measuring what matters rather than what drives that recruiterish behavior that no one likes. I'm a partner to the business, hiring managers, candidates, and my team. Building lasting partnerships with brilliant brands has been the highlight of my work. I'm currently leading the global talent acquisition program at XWP, growing the team from 40 people in 2021 to 120+ today. I'm highly interested in connecting with leaders in the remote tech and talent space and all members of cross-functional software development teams, so feel free to reach out! My family, my faith, and my values are an integral part of how I approach my work. Leading with care, kindness, and character. And of course, we're hiring.

✔️ I have a unique way of connecting dots that are not always obvious from the inside or at first glance. ✔️I find real, inspiring, tangible practices to make it more playful brings ease to day-to-day life and responsibilities ✔️ I enjoy being responsive to the people around me. I want to work closely with professional teams and continue learning about life with them. ✔️I want to spend my time with other curious people working in collaboration and contributing to their world in meaningful ways.

I help companies provide personalised return-to-work coaching support, enabling them to retain and support engaged, committed and balanced staff in a purposeful and enjoyable career. A doubly qualified coach (gained in 2017 and 2024), I work with small to medium-sized organisations and departments of larger organisations, providing coaching services. This supports mental health, morale, productivity and helps craft and maintain a wellbeing-focused culture. Providing maternity coaching also increases employee retention; I’m sure you understand the importance of gender balance in business! After we work together, employers have more engaged, attentive and committed people who believe in their skills and experience. Clients who work with me report that they are more confident in their career choices, more in control of their work-life balance, understand their skills better, feel more assertive and ambitious, and have reduced feelings of stress and anxiety. Businesses thrive when they have engaged and reflective staff.

Digital native, systems thinker, complexity scientist, behavioral engineer, strategist…

For the past six years, my family and I have lived and traveled continuously around the world, visiting every continent in a 13-month span and documenting the experience as full-time travel creators. Along the way, our YouTube channels have grown to more than 700,000 subscribers, drawn not to glossy brochure travel, but to the real version: the logistics, the decisions, the tradeoffs, and the moments that don’t fit neatly into an Instagram square. After decades spent running digital marketing agencies, I co-founded ABC Trips, a luxury and adventure travel agency focused on high-touch, experience-driven travel—polar expeditions, African safaris, expedition cruising, private yachts, and deeply cultural itineraries designed for solos, couples, groups, and families. The work sits at the intersection of brokerage, storytelling, and logistics, with a strong bias toward knowing what’s genuinely worth the splurge—and what’s just good marketing. Along the way, I’ve served as a quoted travel industry source for major publications, appeared on network news segments and podcasts, and collaborated closely with leading travel brands, lodges, and expedition operators worldwide. My commentary often focuses on luxury and expedition travel, family and multigenerational travel, travel trends, and what it actually takes to design a location-flexible life that works long-term. These days, my time is split between: - Advising clients on exceptional luxury and adventure travel through ABC Trips - Serving as a media source and collaborator for journalists and brands - Continuing to explore the world with my family—still learning, still curious I’m not especially interested in chasing trends or shouting into the void. I value thoughtful questions, smart conversations, and people who care about doing things well—and enjoying the ride while they’re at it. If our paths cross, there’s a good chance we’ll have something interesting to talk about.
