Business & Lifestyle & Leadership COACH – HR Expert

Born in the Netherlands, Miranda quickly realised the world was far too big to stay in one place. Driven by curiosity and a hunger for growth, she travelled across continents and lived in multiple countries, shaping her global outlook and deep appreciation for cultural diversity.

Her love for languages became a natural extension of this journey. She speaks English, Dutch, German, Italian, and French, and is currently building the foundation of Arabic. Each language opened new doors, new relationships, and a deeper understanding of the people she would eventually dedicate her career to helping.

Passionate about human behaviour and personal development, Miranda refined her expertise through studies in child psychiatry and Human Resources. She went on to work for international corporations and fast-growing start-ups across Switzerland, the USA, Italy, and the United Arab Emirates. Her ability to navigate complex personalities and high-pressure environments allowed her to support VIPs, high-level entrepreneurs, and visionary founders.

In 2025, Miranda was recognised as one of the Top 10 Female HR Leaders in the United Arab Emirates, a testament to her impact and dedication.

Today, Miranda is specialised in business, leadership, and lifestyle coaching, guiding individuals and organisations to grow with clarity, confidence, and purpose. She believes that true transformation happens when you dare to move against resistance, just like her motto reminds her every day:

“In order to take off, an airplane has to go against the wind.”
