About
For more than 15 years, I worked as a General Counsel, advising executive teams, leading legal departments and making decisions where business, people and risk intersected.Then life changed.After relocating to the UK, I experienced first-hand what transformation looks like - not as a theory but as reality. The UK forced me to rebuild professionally but it also changed the way I think about leadership. I realised that the most difficult challenges are rarely legal - they are human. They involve confidence, communication, trust, difficult decisions and the ability to lead through uncertainty.That experience shaped the way I coach today. I don't help people become someone else. I help them lead with greater clarity, confidence and purpose.I combine executive leadership experience with coaching and strategic advisory, helping leaders, business and legal teams, and organisations build stronger businesses, stronger relationship and stronger leadership.Alongside my coaching, I founded General Counsel Club Ukraine, a community connecting senior legal leaders across industries.I am in progress of qualifying (November 2026) as ICF Accredited Coach.

What people say about working with me
"I’m very happy with my work with Iryna. To be honest, I didn’t even expect this kind of result. I finally realized that, first and foremost, I need to listen to my true desires - the ones that aren’t imposed by society. We often mistakenly equate other people’s successes, achievements, or projects with our own dreams and desires, but we rarely stop and ask ourselves: What do I actually want?
Iryna is results-oriented. It’s a pleasure and a comfort to work with her - you feel her genuine attention, support, and desire to help. This is undoubtedly due to her wealth of experience and her deep professional expertise as a coach and trainer.
I’m glad I had the opportunity to work with her. I wholeheartedly recommend Iryna as a professional coach who helps you not just find answers, but also listen to yourself more closely".
- Tetiana Zgurovets, GR expert, lawyer with 20 years of experience.
"High level of Iryna's professionalism, her proactivity and focus on business processes contribute to speedy and qualitative solution of any issues in the legal field of business."
- Victoria Dobronos-Tutkevych, ex-Business Development Director at L'Oreal Ukraine.
"Iryna is a coach I wholeheartedly recommend. The professional background she brings to her coaching builds trust and adds real depth to each session. The sessions were structured, attentive, and inspiring, and it took surprisingly little time for me to find my own answer to the question I came with. I also felt a greater sense of confidence in myself as a result. I'd recommend her to anyone looking for quality support in their personal and professional growth".
- Iryna, former Head of Legal at Viterra Ukraine
"I am very grateful to Iryna for the leadership coaching sessions. Time always flew by, and the sessions were incredibly engaging. Iryna has a rare talent for coaching; through her high sensitivity and spot-on questions, she guided me to find the answers within myself. You can really feel that she has a legal background and knowledge that helps her in her coaching path. I highly recommend Iryna as a capable, highly intuitive, and gifted coach".
