I'm Laurence — Executive Coach and Leadership Advisor.
I help leaders become who they need to be to lead what the world is becoming.
In an era where global rules are being rewritten in real time, leadership is no longer only about performance. It's about navigating systemic shifts, technological convergence, and new power dynamics — with clarity, agility, and the capacity to shape your market rather than react to it.
I work as a confidential strategic sparring partner to CEOs, founders, and board members facing high-stakes decisions. My role is to help you cut through complexity, turn disruption into direction, and lead with both precision and humanity.

Two complementary practices
MERCURI URVAL
Leadership Advisory team and Global Digital & Transformation Practice
I advise boards and senior leaders on leadership strategy and executive search — a science-based approach deployed across 60+ countries, providing a unique lens on how leadership succeeds in complex, fragmented ecosystems.
LN ExECUTIVE COACH
I work one-to-one with executives, founders, and entrepreneurs navigating who they are becoming — not just what they are expected to deliver. Leadership transitions, new roles, and the gap between how you lead and how you want to lead are rarely just performance questions.
They are questions of alignment, meaning, and responsibility
My specific Vision
The soft architecture that hard technology cannot replace
AI, media, robotics, and biotech are not just converging — they are redefining the conditions under which organisations operate, decide, and lead.This raises fundamental questions: governance, security, human sustainability, and the distribution of power. At the same time, it sharpens the need for what cannot be automated — systemic thinking, the capacity to lead across boundaries that others treat as walls, and sound judgment under complexity.The shift is already underway. The question is not adaptation — it is whether you are equipped to lead what comes next.

Where I come from
A decade as an entrepreneur across consulting, film production, and social impact means I partner with leaders as a fellow builder — someone who understands pressure, risk, and the reality of turning vision into value.Known as a cross-sector ecosystem connector, I build bridges between technology, people, and institutions that don't usually meet.

The conversation starts here.
A 20-minute introductory call. No agenda, no pitch — just a first real conversation to see if working together makes sense.
