Meet Philo

Transformational Coach

Philo Lomba, PhD

Hi there, I’m Dr. Philo Lomba, your transformational coach and dedicated thinking partner. My passion is helping people like you reimagine what’s possible—in both your personal and professional life—so you can bring your whole self to what you do and create real impact.

With a background in International Psychology and Organizational Systems and Change Management, I offer a coaching experience that’s grounded in evidence-based methods.

Together, we’ll create a dedicated space where you can bring your whole self—your ideas, doubts, and ambitions—explore openly, try new ways of thinking, challenge your limits, and find answers, so you can design the next chapter of your journey with intention.

Background

As a third-culture kid, born in Libreville and raised in New York City, I learned early on that transformation is what allows us to grow. That belief has carried me from being a first-generation college student to earning my Ph.D., and to carving out my own path as a first-gen professional in the tech industry.

Now, as a working mom in Germany, I draw on these diverse experiences to walk alongside others through coaching. I’ve seen how even the smallest, most hesitant step can open the door to profound change. I’m deeply committed to helping you reconnect with your own strength, honor your story, and gently discover the transformative power that’s already within you.

 

Education

My Ph.D. in International Psychology: Organizations and Systems, combined with my training in Transformational Coaching, gives me a rare mix of big-picture insight and practical tools. In simple terms: I understand how people and organizations actually work—across cultures, systems, and real-life constraints—so I can guide meaningful change that genuinely fits you.

I draw on psychology and the ADKAR® change model to support lasting change —not quick fixes that fade after a busy week. With a culturally sensitive lens and grounded, actionable coaching techniques, we’ll co-create a path that reflects who you are and where you want to go—so your goals feel authentic, sustainable, and unmistakably yours.

 

Experience

I've supported 50+ early- and mid-career professionals at key turning points in their lives and careers—whether feeling stuck in current role, craving more meaning and alignment, or ready to grow as a leader.

For career transitions, I help uncover your strengths and passions, set clear goals, and move into roles that feel fulfilling and authentic.

In personal development, we focus on what matters most to you—clarifying values, beliefs, and goals so you can build confidence and create a clear, grounded vision for your future.

With leaders, I partner with you to identify your growth areas, strengthen practical leadership skills, and become more effective and inspiring in how you lead yourself and others.
