Who is Ana M. Marin
Welcome!
I am a systemic executive and team coach, accredited coaching supervisor, facilitator and leadership development professional with 15+ years of international experience supporting leaders, leadership teams, teams of teams and coaching practitioners through complexity, transformation and organisational growth.
My career spans banking, professional services, retail, IT, public relations, NGOs and consultancy, giving me a strong understanding of organisational dynamics across industries, cultures and economic environments.
Previously Leadership Development and Internal Coaching Manager at PwC Romania, I designed leadership development initiatives and coached executives, leadership teams and coaches across Central and Eastern Europe. I continue to collaborate with PwC externally as faculty for the Business Coaching Diploma in Romania and Poland and the Team Coaching Diploma in Romania, and as an executive coach on regional leadership programmes.
Over the past decade, I have partnered with 300+ leaders, managers and coaches across 20+ countries in Europe, Asia, Australia and North America. My work focuses particularly on leadership teams and interconnected systems, strengthening alignment, trust, decision-making, collaboration and collective leadership.
Supervision has become an important extension of this systemic work and has profoundly shaped the way I coach, develop coaches and understand my own practice. I work with both developing and experienced coaches, creating protected reflective spaces where we can slow down and explore not only what is happening with the client, but also what is happening within the practitioner, within the coaching relationship and across the wider system. With relational presence at the centre, supervision allows us to notice patterns, emotional and somatic responses, ethical questions, boundaries, power dynamics and what may not yet be fully understood — without rushing towards certainty or an immediate solution.
My approach across coaching, team coaching and supervision combines thoughtful challenge with psychological safety, curiosity and deep relational presence. I create spaces where people can notice patterns, question assumptions, listen to what is emerging and understand the systems they influence — then translate that awareness into purposeful action. I believe sustainable transformation begins with seeing differently: reflection creates awareness, relationships create the conditions for change, and purposeful action moves change forward.
I contribute to the coaching profession as a mentor coach, coaching educator and supervisor, accreditation assessor and Board Member of EMCC Romania.
At the heart of my work is a principle that has increasingly shaped both my coaching and supervision practice: who I am is how I coach, how I supervise and how I meet the systems I am invited into.
Professional Background and Career Evolution
I bring over 17 years of experience across communication and marketing, adult learning and leadership development, with a career spanning banking, retail, professional services, IT&C, public relations consultancy and the NGO sector. This breadth of experience has given me a strong understanding of organisational life, how people navigate change, influence systems, build relationships and lead within complex environments.
Continuous development has been a defining thread throughout my career. Long before coaching became my profession, learning, reflection and deliberate growth were embedded in how I approached both my work and my own leadership.
My relationship with coaching began 15 years ago with one deceptively simple question: “Who would you be without this belief?”
It challenged assumptions I had carried for years and prompted me to look differently at the choices I was making - and at how much of my professional direction I had allowed to be shaped by expectations outside myself.
At the time, I was working in communication while also developing as a senior trainer. That experience became a turning point. I began my formal development as a professional coach 14 years ago and gradually reshaped my career around the work that had become increasingly meaningful to me: developing leaders, strengthening teams and creating the conditions for people and organisations to grow.
The transition required difficult decisions, experimentation and the willingness to leave behind roles and identities that had once served me well. It also gave me first-hand experience of something I now encounter frequently in my work with senior leaders: meaningful change rarely begins with having all the answers. It begins with seeing more clearly, questioning what is no longer serving us and having the courage to act on what we discover.
Today, that experience informs how I work with leaders and teams navigating their own moments of transition, complexity and transformation. I bring not only extensive professional training and organisational experience, but also a deep respect for what it takes to translate insight into meaningful and sustainable change.
Coaching Philosophy and Areas of Impact
I work with individuals and teams on topics such as:
Communication skills and leadership presence
Work–life balance and well-being
Building healthy professional relationships
Goal clarity, self-esteem, and resilience
Productivity, performance optimization, and decision-making
Team alignment, collaboration, healthy conflicts and shared purpose
I believe every client already has the power to change their life and career. My role is to act as a partner who holds space, supporting new thinking, deeper awareness, and both transactional and transformational change.
Evidence-Based Impact
Research reinforces the effectiveness of coaching. According to joint research by the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and the Human Capital Institute (HCI), Building a Coaching Culture reports that 80% of coaching clients experienced improvements in work performance, communication skills, well-being, and/or business management strategies following coaching engagements.
