About

Fanny Meunié Dermatis is a French PCC-certified executive coach (ICF) based in Athens, coaching fluently both in English and French. Having lived and worked across four countries—Paris, London, Shanghai, and Athens—she brings a truly international perspective to her coaching. This openness and cultural ease is something clients often feel immediately when meeting her.

Raised in an entrepreneurial environment and continuously surrounded by business leaders, Fanny developed a deep understanding of what leadership entails—responsibility, pressure, long-term commitment, and the personal trade-offs that accompany senior roles. Combined with a solid five-year background in private and litigation law, this experience enables her to bring both structure and clarity, and to naturally speak the language of the leaders she coaches.

With over seven years of experience, Fanny supports leaders, C-suite executives, and high-potential leaders in complex, international, and fast-growing environments. Her background combines strong business exposure, international experience, a solid legal foundation, and rigorous coaching education, enabling her to work effectively with leaders navigating high levels of responsibility, pressure, and transition.

As an executive coach, Fanny is known for bringing clarity, presence, and structure in moments of overload or strategic ambiguity. She helps professionals slow down, step back, and reconnect with what truly matters—so they can make decisions with greater intention, confidence, and impact. Her aim is to create an immediate sense of relief and mental lightness, alongside sharper focus and renewed energy, often from the very first sessions.

Her coaching is deeply empathetic while remaining firmly pragmatic and grounded. Coaching, for her, is a profession driven by passion and a strong conviction that meaningful change is always possible. This positive energy naturally carries into the coaching relationship. Clients often describe her presence as both rigorous and human, infused with humor.

Fanny specializes in leadership transition and transformation and has coached leaders across multinational corporations, private equity–backed firms, and scale-ups in sectors including finance, technology, sports apparel, insurance, gaming, and customer experience services.

Selected Coaching Examples

Leadership Transition (EMEA Marketing Director)

Leadership Transition (EMEA Marketing Director): Coached a senior marketing leader in a large U.S.-headquartered multinational through a transition from a country-level role to EMEA Marketing Director, with expanded P&L responsibility (€10M+), a larger multi-country team, and increased strategic exposure. The coaching combined structured prioritization, leadership posture work, and real-time decision-making support to help the client operate effectively at scale. As a result, the client strengthened executive presence, clarified strategic priorities across regions, and stepped confidently into the broader EMEA leadership role.

Senior Leadership Effectiveness (HR Director)

Senior Leadership Effectiveness (HR Director): Coached an HR Director in a multinational organization (400,000+ employees) operating within a complex global matrix. The coaching approach emphasized values clarification, boundary-setting, prioritization, and influence without overextension. As a result, the client increased leadership confidence and presence, clarified long-term career direction, improved work–life balance, and secured a promotion aligned with core values.

Executive Promotion (Chief Investment Officer)

Executive Promotion (Chief Investment Officer): Coached an investment leader in a London-based private equity firm through promotion from Investment Director to Chief Investment Officer. The coaching focused on strengthening executive decision-making, prioritization and management skills, establishing clear boundaries, and addressing self-doubt to sustain confidence at board level. Through reflective work and practical frameworks, the client increased decision speed and clarity, developed a more grounded executive presence with senior stakeholders, and reported greater confidence in owning professional value while navigating expanded responsibility across portfolio companies.

Operational Leadership (Managing Director)

Operational Leadership (Managing Director): Engaged by senior leadership to coach a Managing Director in a European insurance company navigating operational growth and increasing role complexity.
