Meet Andrew

I’m Andrew de Csilléry, a senior accredited executive and leadership coach, working closely with a select number of executives and senior leaders and organisations navigating complexity, transition, and growth.

My coaching is deeply human. It is not about applying tools and techniques, but about being in conversation, paying close attention, and accompanying leaders as they think things through and move forward. I work in a non-directive way, creating space for reflection, clearer thinking, and practical action.

Clients value my style that is supportive, direct, and thoughtful. My supervisor once described me as having "confident humility" — and that feels like an accurate reflection of how I work: confident enough to hold complexity, humble enough to stay curious, and always respectful of the leader's own thinking and context.

Drawing on 35 years of experience across Disney, IHG, Tesco, HFL Education and management consulting, I bring a perspective shaped by senior leadership and many years of living and working internationally. That is often an important advantage for clients working across borders, leading international teams, or operating in environments where cultural context matters as much as strategy.

I coach in both English and French, and I have a particularly deep understanding of France and French business culture.

  • “With his extensive experience in both business and coaching, Andrew offers a unique blend of strategic and empathetic perspectives. He helped me navigate key leadership challenges with clarity and purpose.”

    Jordi, Senior Executive, Hospitality

  • “Andrew has a real skill in asking gentle yet incisive questions that get to the heart of an issue, cutting through the CEO-level head spin, and lead to practical resolution."

    Alex, CEO, Charity Sector

  • “I would thoroughly recommend Andrew to anyone seeking leadership coaching or support in realising their business potential. He combines deep professional experience with a calm, approachable and thoughtful manner.”

    Tom, Senior Director

    Leading Global Management Consultancy

  • “My colleagues especially valued Andrew’s understanding of diversity and international cultural differences, which made a real difference in their work together. Having worked with colleagues in India, Kenya, Ghana, and France, they appreciated how naturally Andrew navigated those cross-cultural dynamics. His ability to coach in both English and French was also a great asset.”
