achieve peak performance with Mind Over Matter

Companies don’t fail because the vision is weak - they fail when people, systems, and culture crack under pressure.


At Mind Over Matter, we partner with ambitious founders and teams to build peak performance systems and practices - so they don’t just keep up with growth, they thrive through it.

About Us

Why We Exist

Rapid growth is a double-edged sword. In fast-scaling companies, demands skyrocket — tighter deadlines, constant pivots, nonstop pressure. The result? Even your top players may struggle under pressure, experience decision fatigue, or mentally check out. When people can’t keep pace, growth slows and innovation stalls — until the business breaks. Worst of all? You’re bleeding money without even realizing it. Succeeding at 'scale speed' takes more than vision and ambition — it requires effective coaching, strong performance management, and robust fractional HR systems focused on mental fitness. That’s what we build with you.

What We Do

At Mind Over Matter, we provide coaching for teams and leaders to achieve sustained performance — even during the fastest growth stages. Our Peak Performance System combines advanced mental fitness skills with effective performance management strategies, equipping individuals to stay sharp, adapt quickly, and thrive under pressure. Simply increasing resources through headcount or budget does not resolve performance issues — it often exacerbates them and drains valuable resources. We’re committed to collaborating with you to build robust systems that withstand the pressure test. We don’t just unlock potential — we engineer peak performance for scale, integrating fractional HR solutions that foster long-term success.

our forte

Our years in rapid-growth scaleups translate to decades of experience in companies like YOLO, Swappie, and Katana. We have expertly built, rebuilt, and pressure-tested people, culture, and performance management systems through hypergrowth, scaling, and descaling. We understand what it takes to keep pace — and what breaks when you don’t.


We’ve scaled high-performing People & Culture functions, partnered with C-suite leaders, and designed peak performance systems throughout the entire people lifecycle — from attracting the right talent through effective coaching to leading change in growth or downturn. Our experience spans ambitious global teams across multiple locations, cultures, and remote-first environments.


Above all, we’re passionate about building sustainable peak performance systems — systems that endure the pressure test of growth. As builders at heart, we embrace the challenge of rolling up our sleeves, starting from scratch, or breaking things to rebuild, always with a focus on mental fitness.


We thrive alongside ambitious businesses that prioritize people first — because reaching for the moon requires more than just vision. It demands every hand on deck, including fractional HR support to ensure success.

our approach

Systemic and sustainable change

Systemic and sustainable change

We don’t believe in quick fixes or hacks — through our coaching and fractional HR services, we design solutions that last, fostering real transformation in mental fitness and performance management instead of short-term band-aids.

Systems and skills for impact

Our focus is on building what drives measurable performance through effective performance management and coaching, rather than engaging in box-ticking exercises that may look good on paper but fail to create real change in practice. We also emphasize the importance of mental fitness and offer fractional HR solutions to support these efforts.

People-first

Partnership and co-creation

Partnership and co-creation

With roughly 60–70% of your costs tied to payroll, implementing effective coaching and fractional HR strategies is vital. Treating people as your greatest asset isn’t optional — it’s essential for mental fitness and effective performance management.

what we build for scale

Peak Performance Skills & Systems

We help you build the skills and systems that enable your team to perform at their peak—unlocking your business’s full capability through effective performance management.


Our process begins with a snapshot of your current status, your goals, and the challenges you face. Utilizing science-based diagnostics grounded in research on high-performing teams, we identify strengths, gaps, and opportunities across both people and systems, with a focus on mental fitness.


From there, we co-create tailored solutions, which often include coaching, defining impact measures, and building an implementation plan designed specifically for your business. This typically involves a mix of strategies, playbooks, workshops, e-courses, 1:1 leadership coaching, and structured check-ins, alongside fractional HR support.


Finally, we launch, measure, and iterate—ensuring continuous improvement, resilience under pressure, and sustainable results at scale.

1:1 Coaching & Mentoring for High Achievers

Operating in a fast-growth environment can feel like being on a high-speed train that never stops. The pace is relentless, demands keep rising, and what worked yesterday no longer works today. Leaders and high achievers find themselves constantly building and rebuilding — under pressure to deliver more, faster, and better. Our coaching is designed for this reality. It’s for ambitious founders, executives, and individuals who want to achieve more on their own terms. Together, we design strategies, skills, and systems of habits that make peak performance sustainable — not draining. This approach also aligns with performance management principles, ensuring that progress is tracked effectively. This isn’t about pushing harder; it’s about cultivating mental fitness, building clarity, resilience, and the mindset to thrive through rapid change without breaking or burning out. Additionally, incorporating fractional HR solutions can further support your journey towards sustainable success.

group Coaching, Masterminds and workshops

Lasting change doesn’t come from a single workshop — it comes from time, discipline, and repetition. That’s why our coaching group programs are long-term, highly experiential journeys that span 6–9 months. 


Participants strengthen their mental fitness “muscles” through a mix of resilience training, stress and energy management, and performance management systems of habits for high performance. Like going to the gym, progress comes in consistent, small doses — not one long session. We design these programs as regular “workouts” of knowledge, experimentation, and practice that build lasting capability. 


Learning together in groups adds another layer: accountability, shared growth, and deep connections between people. This strengthens collaboration, fuels innovation, and creates collective performance that goes far beyond what individuals can achieve alone, especially when supported by fractional HR expertise.

Fractional People & Culture partnership

Fast-growing businesses often face fluctuating workloads and intense peak seasons. Some don’t yet have a dedicated People & Culture team, while others lack the resources — or the permanent need — to add more people or expertise. That’s where we step in.


We help founders and People & Culture teams navigate these critical moments with excellence — without adding hours or headcount. Our flexible service, including fractional HR solutions, is designed to deliver specific outcomes, lead key projects, or simply take operational load off your plate.


Whether you have no People & Culture team in place or your current team is stretched thin, we bring expertise across every area of culture and people development — from coaching and performance management to defining company culture, facilitating Leadership Mastermind groups, masterclasses, onboarding programs, and mentoring People & Culture teams.


We work side by side with your business, get to know your people, and roll up our sleeves to make things happen. We don’t just consult — we become an extension of your team, driving results with excellence while also promoting mental fitness.

People & Culture Expert | Peak Performance & Mental Fitness Coach

I know what it takes to perform at your peak — and what it costs when you push too far.


With 15+ years in People & Culture — including 7+ years inside high-growth, high-pressure tech scaleups — I’ve led global teams through hypergrowth, built people-first cultures from scratch, and developed leaders capable of driving impact at scale. I’ve coached executives, mentored people managers, and rolled out learning programs for companies doubling in size (or stress) overnight.


I’ve been the one holding it together — and I’ve also been the one running on empty.


That lived experience drove me to explore a better way. I delved deep into the science of human performance: mental fitness, brain science, and performance psychology. I wanted to understand what separates the teams that burn out from the ones that rise — and stay sharp.


Today, I work with forerunning companies who recognize that their people are their competitive edge. Through my coaching, I empower high performers and leaders to cultivate unshakable clarity, energy, and resilience. Additionally, I consult on fractional HR to help organizations build the systems, culture, and habits that unlock sustainable, scalable peak performance.


I don’t believe in fluff. Everything I do is evidence-based, deeply human, and designed to make growth sustainable — for your people and your business.


Because the toughest battles aren’t won in boardrooms — they’re won in the mind.

People & Culture Expert| Humanising Work for Impact

Since my childhood, I've been the one asking why? — even in the rooms where everyone else just seemed to follow the served structure. I have been passionate about breaking things down, rebuilding them to make more sense, and advocating for systems that actually work for humans. This curiosity took me from challenging parents and teachers to questioning coaches, teammates, and later leaders at work — eventually leading me into People & Culture. Over the last decade, I’ve built functions from scratch, scaled cultures in high-growth tech environments, and partnered with leaders to turn chaos into clarity through effective performance management strategies.


But here’s the real story: while I was scaling companies, I had to start scaling myself, too. Living with undiagnosed ADHD pushed me to the edge — manifesting as anxiety, exhaustion, and “just push harder” until that stopped working. Learning how my brain actually works reframed everything for me; it forced me to figure out resilience and focus on an individual level, making me obsessed with mental fitness. This journey ignited my passion for helping others and pushing organisations to create environments where people can truly thrive.


That’s why I co-founded Mind Over Matter: to humanise work for real business impact. By integrating coaching and fractional HR solutions, we build the systems, cultures, and habits that help people — and companies — grow without losing their spark. I don’t do buzzwords. I build what’s practical, human, and scalable.


Because growth isn’t just a strategy — it’s human.
