I break the code most people can't see.

I coach engineers, analysts and founders through the decisions that don't fit in a spreadsheet: careers, businesses, turning points. Twenty-five years of reading enterprise systems, now pointed at people.

One-to-one on video, any time zone. We start with a free 15-minute call to see if I'm the right person for it. No pitch.

Who I work with

Mostly people who trust data more than feelings, and have noticed the data doesn't cover everything.

How I read a situation

Not GROW, not a script. I use pattern recognition, cross-checked the way I'd check any dataset, and fold it into the conversation itself.

  • Numerology

    Pythagorean, Chaldean, Vedic and Kabbalistic systems, calculated properly and verified against each other. This is the blueprint layer.

  • Astrology, Western and BaZi

    Western tropical astrology next to Chinese BaZi. This is the timing layer: when something is actually active, not just theoretically possible.

  • Data and pattern analysis

    AI-assisted research, chart calculation and cross-referencing across systems. It also covers candidate and team fit: who suits a role or project, not just who interviews well.

  • Intuitive reading

    Reading energy directly in people, rooms and situations. The oldest tool I have, and the one everything else gets checked against.

If the patterns agree, that's signal and I'll say so. If they don't, I'll tell you that too.

Where I come from

For 25 years I built the enterprise systems that have to hold under pressure: data centers, cloud migrations, large transitions at IBM, HP, Sanoma and CGI. Underneath it, the same instinct was always running. Charts, numbers, the energy in a room, read with the same care.

In 2023 I stopped keeping those two lives in separate rooms. I trained as a life coach, founded Henri I Consulting, and started doing openly what I'd always done quietly: find the pattern, check the math, say what it actually shows. People call me the Code Breaker because I'm still reading systems. Human ones now.

Working together

Three ways in. Most people start with the first.

  • Holistic and business coaching

    Career, relationships, life transitions and the big decisions that don't fit on a form. One conversation at a time, worked through properly.
