Silvana Van Schaik

Many organizations invest heavily in ESG strategy, but struggle to translate it into aligned leadership behaviour and effective execution.

I help sustainability leaders and organizations navigate complex transformations by strengthening decision-making, leadership alignment, and organizational effectiveness under pressure.

With 15+ years of experience across financial services and ESG, I work at the intersection of strategy, leadership, and organizational change. I support leadership teams in translating business priorities into practical action, improving clarity, consistency, and execution across teams and regions.

My approach combines strategic advisory with leadership development and coaching, ensuring that transformation is not only designed, but actually works in practice.

I typically support:

ESG and sustainability transformations

Leadership alignment and team effectiveness

Organizational change and behavioural adoption

Talent and leadership capability development

Background includes senior roles at Morningstar and Sustainalytics, working with international leadership teams in complex environments.

Available for advisory, transformation support, and leadership-focused engagements
