About Panos
As a seasoned ICF and EMCC-certified coach, I specialize in leadership growth and career development, enriched by my global perspective and thought leadership contributions. My insights have been featured in Chief Learning Officer Magazine, and I’ve served as a Board Director at the UK chapter of the International Coaching Federation (ICF). With extensive experience as an expat, I understand the challenges and opportunities that come with relocating to different countries. This unique perspective allows me to support individuals navigating international career transitions, cultural adaptation, and leadership in global environments. As a global leader in Learning & Development, I focus on coaching strategy, cultural transformation, and leadership growth. Currently leading Microsoft's Coaching Center of Excellence, I enhance coaching capabilities for 60,000 employees worldwide, fostering a culture of continuous development and inclusive leadership.
Why do I coach?
I coach because I believe in the transformative power of meaningful conversations to unlock potential, inspire growth, and empower individuals to lead with confidence and purpose. Early in my career, coaching profoundly shaped my journey, helping me navigate challenges and grow into leadership roles. This experience inspired me to pay it forward, guiding others to discover their strengths and achieve their aspirations.
