About Camilla

Kia ora, I’m Camilla.

I am a leadership coach and organisational development consultant who is passionate about helping leaders make sense of complexity. I work alongside leaders as they navigate growth, change and uncertainty, creating the space for clearer thinking, greater confidence and meaningful action.

Throughout my career, I have held leadership and organisational development roles across New Zealand, Australia and the United Kingdom. This has included leading leadership and capability development for international brands within Lipsy Group, including Victoria’s Secret, GAP and NEXT Beauty, before joining Fisher & Paykel Appliances in New Zealand. These experiences have given me first-hand insight into the opportunities and challenges leaders face within fast-paced and evolving organisations.

I trained through the Academy of Executive Coaching in London, hold a Diploma in Life Coaching, and am a Certified Professional Behavioural Analyst (DISC) through TTI Success Insights. These experiences continue to shape my understanding of leadership and human behaviour.

My coaching style is practical, supportive and appropriately challenging. I create space for honest reflection, fresh thinking and purposeful action, helping leaders understand what is really happening beneath the surface. My mission is simple: to help leaders grow in ways that strengthen their leadership and create a positive impact on the people, teams and organisations they influence.

What leaders say

Working with Camilla.

“Camilla guided our management team through a DISC assessment and 1:1 coaching sessions that completely changed the way we understand and communicate with one another. She has a unique ability to make behavioural styles easy to understand while helping each person recognise both their strengths and opportunities for growth.”

Sam, Founder

“Working with Camilla has been one of the greatest investments I’ve made in myself. She has an incredible gift for listening beneath the words and helping me untangle thoughts that once felt overwhelming. Rather than giving me answers, she empowers me to discover my own.”

Raf, Founder

“The workshop, facilitated by Camilla, was truly impactful. Engaging, practical, and motivating from start to finish. This training reignited our motivation and confidence in a way that rippled through the whole team.”
