My name is Alina M. Ionescu
I am Master Coach for ambitious leaders in organizations, who want to discover and boldly express their authentic leadership voice, in order to navigate change with clarity, compassion and confidence.
I love to empower leaders to activate the best version of themselves and leave a sustainable legacy of excellence in their activity and life, as well as in the lives of the people they lead, inspire, influence and serve.
My leadership journey
After almost 20 years of leadership in big organizations such as Coca-Cola, Pepsi-Cola and Muller Dairy - where I built successful departments and teams with genuine enthusiasm, and negotiated purchasing budgets exceeding 100 Mil. Euro – in 2013 I felt a strong calling toward entrepreneurship. What I initially saw as the dream of freedom and fulfillment became a pivotal moment in my career.
And, as often happens with dreams, the reality of the first year brought me back down to earth. I quickly realized I didn’t have a clear direction for the business I wanted to build. After about six months of searching, the lack of clarity became increasingly difficult to bear, especially as "crises" began to emerge in important areas of my life. In that moment of uncertainty, I returned to the corporate world for less than a year. That experience made it very clear that turning back was no longer an option for me.
So, entrepreneurship was the way. And soon coaching appeared and perfectly matched my need for self-knowledge and transformation.
Since then, more than 10 years of tireless study and intense work with my coaching clients have passed. All my training in various international coaching schools, mentor coaching, supervision, NLP, transactional analysis, systemic and organizational constellations, team and group coaching, positive mindset shift program, as well as the exams for national and international coaching certifications, have helped me understand myself better and become both a more effective coach and a better person.
Through this intense work, I learned to give myself permission to be and to reveal my authentic presence. For me, this represents a harmonious balance between, on one hand, firmness and a focus on results, and on the other, modesty, warmth, and full confidence in the unlimited potential of the person in front of me. As a result, all the relationships in my life were either transformed or clarified - some ended, while others flourished. My business also thrived.
What can the coaching sessions with me bring you?
It may be that life has brought you now to this place where it is essential to let your leadership voice be heard. This calling may be emerging for you either in the context of your personal or professional life. Whatever the case, you are facing one of the most exciting challenges of your life. This is the moment of transformation, as you shift from focusing solely on yourself and your goals to becoming a person who inspires, motivates, and enthusiastically mobilizes the energy of those around you to create positive change for everyone.
In these challenging times, I am here for you to access and put into action that unique inner power that allows you to:
Express your leadership vision with authenticity and boldness
Easily inspire and influence team members, colleagues and superiors

Maybe you'd like to know
I love people and enjoy building relationships based on trust. I see the boundless potential and wholeness in the person in front of me.
I value precision and I am also creative. I am an engineer, and I have also painted, played the guitar, took ballet and ballroom dancing classes and won some competitions over the years.
I love skiing. For me, skiing is a mix of courage, precision, presence, and freedom - exactly the things that I appreciate in coaching and in life.
I am organized, I value clarity, and, at the same time, I have the courage to venture into the unknown.
I have started over and rediscovered myself multiple times throughout my life. I decided to move on from engineering and the Electrical Motors Factory in Bucharest when I saw no further opportunities for growth or learning. I left S&T to pursue my dream of earning an MBA. I then embarked on a new journey at PepsiCo, where I built a remarkable procurement department and team. I started again at Müller Dairy, where I played a key role as one of the managers who contributed to establishing the company in Romania. Finally, I transitioned from the corporate world to undertake an entrepreneurial adventure.
I've started from scratch many times, and each time I built the success that I wanted, step by step, with enthusiasm, courage and joy.
