Victor started his coaching career in 2010 having amassed over fifteen years as an information technology professional with work in at least ten cities in Australia, Asia, Middle East and Europe and with over a dozen number of nationals and cultures. Whilst working as an information technology leader in Kabul, Afghanistan, he was amidst the company of eager staff who not only wanted to know the latest in technology but also know about themselves, their potential, their career paths and their place in the world. In Kabul, he experienced a new way of working with individuals and teams of different nationalities, cultures or tribes, leading and coaching them in the midst of constant threat to life by bombings, one of which was a very close explosion that led him to leave the country and to rethink what was important in life. This ultimately led to a career change into coaching.
