Keren, an executive coach for the exceptionally successful, knows firsthand the sacrifices made for external success at the expense of inner fulfillment. With a wealth of experience in prestigious organizations including Estée Lauder, LVMH, Deutsche Bank, Nike, leading global hedge funds and start-ups, and over a thousand professionals within these organizations, Keren understands the frustration of feeling lost while appearing like a superstar.
