Director to VP: Most Miss This Step

Are you a high-performing leader meeting or exceeding expectations, leading teams, and yet still not getting promoted to Vice President or executive roles?

You’re not alone. I’ve been there — eight years in global director roles, thinking performance alone would get me noticed. It didn’t.

➡️ In this video, I reveal the 3 unspoken reasons why experienced, capable leaders get stuck in middle management — and what it really takes to transition from Director to VP, SVP, or C-suite.

These insights come from my own career journey — moving from Director to VP across Asia and Europe — and from coaching senior leaders in Fortune 500 and global organizations who were ready for more… but didn’t know how to position themselves for executive leadership.

You’ll learn:
• How to shift from tactical delivery to strategic influence
• Why executive branding matters more than qualifications
• How to build visibility with enterprise-level stakeholders and senior decision-makers
• What political fluency and organizational intelligence look like in real life
• And the single biggest mindset trap holding mid-career leaders back

I’ve learned a lot, and now I can help you achieve your career ambitions without spending years feeling stuck or frustrated.

28-35: I held two global director positions at Volvo Group, working in Belgium and Sweden. Even though I was a top performer, I spent 8 years with no promotion.

36: I became the Vice President of Brand Marketing and Corporate Communication at Volvo and moved to Asia.

37: I became the Global Vice President of Communication at Atlas Copco and moved back to Belgium.

Since then, I’ve helped leaders land roles as CFOs, CTOs, Partners, GMs, VPs, SVPs, Executive Directors, and Senior Directors....
