I became fascinated by one question:
Why do incredibly intelligent leaders keep repeating patterns they already understand?
After more than 23 years in international business, I realised something: Business problems are rarely only business problems. The real bottleneck is often invisible, whether that's power, identity, fear, loyalty, avoided conversations and even silence.
And that is where I work, as that is where businesses lose millions.
I’m Saskia Neyt, founder of Wingwomen in Business and Senior Business Wingwoman to CEOs and executive teams.
I bring more than two decades of international business experience to the work, combined with nearly a decade focused exclusively on leadership and team dynamics at the highest level.
My career has taken me through petrochemicals, startups, government, pharmaceuticals, consulting, retail and beyond. I have led cross-functional teams, managed complex projects, navigated high-stakes environments and worked alongside executives where the expectation was always business impact, not theory.
That experience shaped how I work today.
I know the language of business.
I understand the pressure of leadership.
And I know that what blocks progress is often not visible on the strategy deck.
It is what happens between people. The power dynamics nobody names. The conflict disguised as professionalism. The accountability everyone assumes someone else owns. The loyalty that keeps the wrong person in the room. The leadership team that looks aligned, until the pressure hits.
I bring business pragmatism, psychological insight, sharp observation and the courage to say what needs to be said, with a touch of lightness and humour to it.
I challenge when needed.
I ask the uncomfortable question.
I hold the tension when others rush to resolve it.
For nearly a decade, I have worked with leadership teams to confront what is really happening in the room, move beyond artificial harmony, restore accountability and alignment, and create the conditions for meaningful organisational change.
That's where I come in.
