Team coach Ignasi Fainé from Zürich

About Ignasi

Ignasi Fainé helps foundations, NGOs and family offices professionalise their management by connecting financial returns with measurable social impact. Based in Zurich, he works with organisations in Switzerland, Spain, Andorra, Latin America and Kenya, as an organisational coach with a systemic perspective.

His background combines two worlds: finance, as chief investment officer and controller, and the social sector, as a project director at NGOs. That lets him bridge the gap between donors and beneficiaries and align a foundation's investment strategy with its mission.

For years he has led investment and governance committees in Switzerland and Spain. His focus areas are governance and compliance, including ethical frameworks and project control; sustainable finance, including endowment management and ESG strategies; and project management, including due diligence, monitoring and impact assessment. He works in Spanish and English.

A team coach does not help by simply telling a team what is wrong, but by revealing what people need to work well together. This includes differences in communication, decision-making, pace, trust and responses under pressure. Ignasi Fainé can help your team recognise these patterns and turn them into agreements that remain useful in everyday work.

With Personal User Guide, every team member receives a personal guide based on the Big Five personality model. It shows how someone communicates, collaborates and responds when pressure rises. These insights are not labels; they provide a concrete starting point for an honest conversation about behaviour and needs.

During a team coaching programme, Ignasi Fainé can bring the personal insights together in a team guide. The gap view shows where team members naturally complement each other and where misunderstandings or friction may arise. The risk analysis also helps identify when strengths become less flexible under pressure.

This means team coaching does not end with a good conversation or a one-off workshop. The team develops a shared language, practical working agreements and material it can revisit later. Want to explore what this could mean for your team? Contact Ignasi Fainé directly below.
