Whether you are building a company, leading a growing team, or shaping your own professional path — you feel it:
When you only move as far as circumstances allow — you are surviving, not leading.
You're making progress, but it's not rooted in real direction.
You're succeeding, but it feels quietly misaligned.
You're deciding, but mostly reacting to pressure.
At some point,you can't keep going without rebuilding from a deeper foundation.
What I Offer
I work with leaders, founders, and professionals
who know they can't lead well from reactivity — and are ready to rebuild from clarity.
who know they can't lead well from reactivity — and are ready to rebuild from clarity.
You might recognize yourself here:
Startup founders
You’ve built early momentum — but now leadership is the constraint. It’s no longer about product speed — it’s about how you lead.
CEOs of growing companies (50–150 people)
You’re scaling — but internal alignment is fraying.
You know clarity must deepen before complexity wins.
You know clarity must deepen before complexity wins.
Professionals
You're a "good employee" but it's not enough — and want your work and ambition to align with a deeper vision of your life
I help leaders rebuild clarity where complexity and habit have blurred direction.
How It Works

Start with a conversation
A focused space to name what’s real — and explore where clarity is most needed.

Tailored engagement
No templates. Just structured clarity shaped by your reality, pace, and goals.
You don’t have to commit — but if this feels right, we can begin with a single conversation.
Why It Matters Now
Leadership today feels harder than it used to.
Markets shift faster. Teams work remotely. Pressure builds from every direction.
Markets shift faster. Teams work remotely. Pressure builds from every direction.
But the real problem isn’t the pace.
It’s that many leaders are forced to act without real clarity.
And when that happens, these patterns show up:
- You’re growing, but team alignment is slipping
- You’re making decisions, but they feel reactive
- You’re busy, but your work lacks deep direction
These patterns aren’t just growing pains — they point to a missing foundation.
In fast-changing environments, clarity isn’t optional - it’s what keeps everything else coherent.
The leaders who succeed now aren’t the ones who hustle hardest.
They’re the ones who step back, realign, and act from a clear internal base.

About Kristóf
I work with leaders, founders, and professionals who sense that growth without clarity won’t last.
My background spans diplomacy, innovation, and public-private leadership - shaped by years across the UK, Belgium, Austria, and Hungary.
For years, I’ve lived the same principles I now help others reclaim.
For years, I’ve lived the same principles I now help others reclaim.
Because here’s what I’ve learned:
Leadership is not circumstance.
It’s built — patiently, intentionally — from clarity of thought, presence of mind, and courage of action.
I live this work as a strategist, a coach, a husband, and a father.
And I help others lead from that same grounded clarity - in their teams, and in their lives.
