Guests
Even if everyone has horror stories to tell, no one likes to talk about the pain they’ve been through, even less if it’s related to their work life. Client Horror Stories is the place where everyone who has a story to tell, and lessons to share from it, is welcome, regardless of their job, age, and industry.
Our guests are a compilation of very brave and passionate people who’ve decided to sit back and have an open-hearted conversation about the worst clients they’ve had in their careers. And of course, the possibility of having other people learn from their mistakes just as they did is a great plus.

Sales Leader | Strategic Business Consultant | Driving Growth & Strategic Partnerships | Former Practice Director with Deep Commercial & Clinical Insight
Former Surgical Sales Representative turned Aesthetic Business Director.
After a decade of “bag-carrying” success with industry giants Stryker and Zimmer Biomet—where I secured major trauma contracts and supported complex oncology cases—I transitioned into the private sector to build and scale aesthetic practices. This experience gave me a 360-degree view of the industry. I have sat in the buyer’s chair. I know the anxiety a clinic owner feels when reviewing a capital quote, and I know how to build the business case that validates the investment. I am now seeking opportunities to return to a corporate leadership role where I can apply my sales pedigree and operational insights to drive territory growth and strategic partnerships.
