Victor, Head of Sales in Eastern Europe, had built a highly successful career managing 150 people and leading markets consistently ranked among the global top five. Recognized by the board for his strategic thinking, he was now facing his first executive assessment as part of his next career step.
Initially considering a global project role, Victor realized during coaching that it didn’t align with his long-term ambition of becoming CSO. Instead, we identified the Head of Sales, North America role as the right next move — one step away from his ultimate career goal.
Despite his track record, Victor faced self-doubt: the new role required navigating a multicultural matrix, building credibility with senior stakeholders, and influencing without direct authority.
