Who am I?

I’m Anne Rigaud‑Walker, a certified Executive Coach (HEC Paris) and clinical Hypnotherapist specializing in Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT®) 

My Journey

Before opening my coaching practice nearly 10 years ago, I held various commercial and leadership roles in major companies. These experiences instilled in me three core values: exchange, listening, and open-mindedness—values that shaped both my skills and my way of being.

After frantic years focused on performance and high-stakes success, I felt the deep need for a radical shift—personally and professionally. A calling to help others and a passion for transformation naturally steered me toward Executive Coaching and therapeutic accompaniment.

The Path I Took

Once I had my baccalauréat, I dabbled in law school—and quickly realized: law and I? We were totally incompatible! Following my instincts, I enrolled at Advancia (a business school from CCI de Paris). I majored in International Trade—and graduated top of my class (major de promotion).

With diploma in hand, I started my career in aerospace. But the conservative vibe got to me fast. Enter Yahoo: I applied, got in—and 15 whirlwind years later, I had journeyed from commercial consultant to director of advertising operations. I was part of the digital revolution’s early wave and proud to have led incredibly talented teams.

That career taught me the depths of human nature: stress, anxiety, high-pressure challenges—with countless hours spent explaining, discussing, convincing, connecting.

Why I Pivoted

That dynamic journey made something clear: I was hungry for personal evolution and an even stronger desire to support others. I wanted to help people untangle painful situations, overcome anxiety, build confidence, learn better—or simply tap into their natural potential. That’s when I chose to shift and embarked on my personal work—perfectly in tune with who I am.
