Senior International Mediator

With over 25 years of experience as an internationally acclaimed and certified business mediator, Manon has devoted her career to business conflict resolution.

Each day, she reaffirms her decision to embrace this profession, as it provides sustainable solutions. She is characterised by personalised outcomes that seamlessly merge the human and business aspects of the situation, while lending a listening ear when it’s needed most.

​Her journey into mediation was catalysed by a pivotal moment during her early legal career. A client’s candid remark, “A legal approach won’t suffice, I need a commercial solution” ignited a career change. This encounter was a driver in her transition from a tenacious jurist to a seasoned marketing executive at corporations like Schering, Nestle, Werner & Mertz, and Guhl. These experiences enabled her to discern the innermost drivers of clients and the essence of effective assistance—going beyond a legal approach. In her role overseeing international marketing departments, she found herself mediating—albeit unknowingly—between various stakeholders. A serendipitous discovery led her to the world of professional mediation. Her path into mediation was anchored through rigorous training, including programs she attended at Harvard Law School.

​Since then Manon has supported lawyers, entrepreneurs, managers and their employees in all kinds of conflict and negotiation situations. As a deal facilitator and advisor when negotiating a contract, as a mediator when entering into, reigniting or carefully terminating a collaboration or employment.
