I’ve been navigating the dynamic world of middle management since 2005. Along the way, I’ve experienced the highs of achievement, the lessons of setbacks, and the personal growth that comes with both.

My career has taken me across Europe, living and working in different countries and industries, immersing myself in diverse work cultures. Each transition brought unique challenges and opportunities, shaping not just my professional expertise but also my perspective on what it truly means to lead from the middle.

Middle management is no walk in the park. It’s a role that often feels like a balancing act—navigating expectations from above while supporting and empowering those below. Over the years, I’ve learned that some of the toughest situations become manageable when you share your doubts, challenges, and even failures with others who have walked a similar path.

Through the generosity of peers who shared their stories and wisdom, I discovered new perspectives, found strength in setbacks, and reignited my sense of purpose. These connections taught me that even the most complex problems have solutions—often starting with a fresh point of view and a supportive conversation.

Why The Middle Management Anonymous?

I created The Middle Management Anonymous as a way to give back to the community that has been instrumental in my journey. It’s a space for middle managers to connect, reflect, and grow together—a safe place where honesty, encouragement, and collaboration take center stage.

Here, you’ll find a judgment-free zone where real conversations happen, ideas take root, and solutions are co-created. Whether you’re looking for practical advice, fresh perspectives, or just someone who “gets it,” this is a community where we tackle the challenges of middle management together.

The Middle Management Anonymous isn’t just a platform—it’s the beginning of another exciting chapter, one that I hope you’ll be a part of. Together, we can make the middle a place of purpose, progress, and pride.

Looking forward to the journey ahead!
