Pascal has spent his career in environments where communication is the difference between resolution and catastrophe. As a certified crisis and hostage negotiation specialist and accredited international mediator, he works in situations where the margin for error is zero.
He is calm under pressure, precise with language, and skilled at reading what is happening beneath the surface of a conflict. Organizations that bring him in are dealing with something that has already escalated — they need someone who knows how to slow it down without losing ground.
Beyond crisis work, Pascal is an ADR-accredited mediator with broad experience in organizational disputes, leadership conflicts, and cross-cultural negotiations. Certified NICHD interviewer and Certified BrainCompass Navigator.
Pascal is based in The Hague. Works remote and travels internationally, frequently to Asia and the Caribbean.
