The World is Changing—Are You Prepared?
Watching the news today, it’s hard to remember a time when things felt more unpredictable. As entrepreneurs and professionals, keeping up with these changes—both in business and personal finance—feels overwhelming. Markets fluctuate daily, political landscapes shift, and the global economy continues to be unpredictable.
In a world where financial stability can seem elusive, having a wealth coach isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. A wealth coach helps protect your investments, ensure your assets are structured correctly, and guide you toward financial growth, even in turbulent times.
For over two decades, I’ve worked independently with international clients, helping them navigate both short-term uncertainties and long-term financial planning. My approach is unique—I offer solutions, not products, ensuring that my success is directly tied to the quality of advice I provide.

The Changing Landscape of International Executive Packages
For decades, multinational companies offered generous packages to their international executives. These packages included perks like private drivers, cooks, maids, medical and life insurance, free education for children, and regular flights home. However, in recent years, companies have been forced to cut back on these benefits as HR departments shrink and budgets tighten.
As a wealth coach, I’ve spoken with countless international executives who assumed they had certain benefits—only to realize they were either inadequate or non-existent. For example:
Many don’t have life insurance or haven’t nominated beneficiaries, putting their families at risk.
Some believe they can continue contributing to a home-country pension scheme, which often isn’t the case and can lead to unexpected tax consequences.
Others are advised to pay into local pension schemes, which don’t align with their long-term plans since they are likely to relocate within a few years.
With the demands of a global career, it’s easy for international executives to overlook their personal financial well-being—but failing to plan can lead to serious consequences for them and their families.
