About Aurelien MANGANO
Strategic Leadership Advisor & Executive Transformation Partner
From the Alps to the C-Suite: A Journey of Strategic Leadership
My leadership journey began in Grenoble, France—the capital of the Alps—where the discipline of mountain climbing and the clarity of high-altitude thinking shaped my approach to executive leadership. In 2012, I made the strategic decision to expand my impact globally, transitioning from the familiar peaks of France to the dynamic business landscape of Houston, Texas.
Executive Experience Meets Strategic Coaching
What sets me apart isn't just my coaching credentials—it's my proven track record of ascending from project manager to portfolio manager while developing the strategic thinking and influence capabilities that today's C-suite demands. This real-world executive progression gives me unique insight into the challenges ambitious leaders face when transitioning from managing tasks to inspiring transformational results.
