About
Monika Turska.
I’m a leader and operator, turned accredited Executive Coach and Advisor.
I’ve always been drawn to exploring what’s possible at the intersections, where different perspectives, domains and systems meet, and new possibilities emerge.
I started my professional career as a software engineer, at a time when there were even fewer of us, women in tech
A GAP WE’VE STILL NOT CLOSED.
A master’s degree in computer science took me deep into technical complexity and into early cross-cultural work across Poland, Macedonia, and Mexico.
Early on, my work shifted to the intersection of people, business, and technology. I moved to London in my mid-20s and stepped into product management, people and organisational leadership roles across B2B technology startups and global enterprises, with senior product leadership roles at the BBC and Bain & Company.
I led teams, portfolios and departments through high growth and rapid change. Strategy pivots, operating model transformations, takeovers, restructures and layoffs. Across industries, sectors and markets.
Looking back, I can see the periods when the pace and pressure came at a personal cost to my health, relationships, and sense of self. I had successes and made mistakes. Some learnings took me years to land. Each one posed a choice about the kind of leader — and person — I wanted to become.
