Joana Videgain Luzar
I support leaders and entrepreneurs around the world — from Houston to Bilbao, Mexico to Budapest — as they navigate moments of transition, growth, and reinvention.
Every engagement is tailored — I listen closely to the unique context, challenges, and needs of each individual or team.
I work with founders, executives, and senior managers — especially in the impact and sports sectors — navigating key moments like stepping into a new role, hitting a wall in motivation or purpose, facing leadership challenges, or making strategic decisions.
As an executive and career coach, consultant, and former C-level leader, I bring over 15 years of international experience to help leaders move forward with authenticity, clarity, and vision.
I’ve held leadership roles such as Chief People Officer at an impact investment startup and Managing Director of the French-American Chamber of Commerce in the U.S. These experiences sharpened my ability to lead multicultural teams, drive transformation, and design engagement strategies that truly resonate.
Today, I coach in English, Spanish, French, and Euskera, partnering with leadership teams seeking meaningful, aligned progress.
Going through a major shift? Facing a big decision and need clarity? Let’s talk.
