Career history

Anne has over 30 years of management experience, including 15 years in senior executive and general management positions, across a wide range of organisations: multinational groups, family-owned businesses, start-ups, private equity-backed mid-sized companies, a French listed group, and a company owned by a local authority. This experience has given her a deep, first-hand understanding of the challenges faced by Executive Committees and senior leaders, as well as of power dynamics and of organisational complexity, enabling her to quickly build relationships grounded in both trust and challenge.

Coach expertise

Anne supports senior leaders and managers in their professional development, as well as leadership teams as they navigate transformations that challenge the way they operate and perform collectively. She works simultaneously with the individual, their role and the wider system in which they operate. She seeks to foster greater personal and collective sustainability and to create the conditions for leadership that combines impact, performance, meaning and balance.

What people are saying about Anne Yannic at Turningpoint

Anne is particularly attentive to what is at play in moments of transformation, disruption or impasse. Her quality of presence, perceptive listening and energy enable her to build open and meaningful relationships in which trust and challenge can coexist. She provides a strong and reassuring presence, enabling her clients to revisit their assumptions, blind spots and patterns — those that have contributed to their success but may no longer serve them. She helps them identify new degrees of freedom, releasing their creative energy. She supports them through these moments of transition: making sense of what is happening, reclaiming room for manoeuvre, and experimenting with new ways of thinking and acting. Throughout her work, she seeks to help her clients reconnect with meaning and creative energy, and develop a more grounded and discerning capacity for action.
