Who we are
SoftPace is led by Ornela Cianciarelli, a passionate coach and facilitator who brings years of experience in agile practices, psychological safety, and coaching. Originally from Buenos Aires, Argentina, Ornela moved to the Netherlands at 21, where her journey toward helping others take shape.
After studying Psychology at the University of Buenos Aires, she shifted her focus from one-on-one psychology to broader organizational transformation. She studied International Business Administration at Erasmus University and specialized in Stakeholder Management.
Ornela’s professional path led her to co-found Yellow Bridge, a consultancy for sustainability in Dutch SMEs. After a few years of entrepreneurship, she joined Unilever, where she worked in various roles, eventually becoming an Enterprise Agile Coach. It was during this time that she discovered the importance of psychological safety—creating spaces where people feel safe to express themselves and collaborate effectively.
Inspired by her desire for a simpler, more grounded approach to work and life, Ornela founded SoftPace. She combined her experience in agile coaching with certifications in walking coaching, mindfulness, nature coaching, and psychological safety to create a human-centered, nature-infused space for organizations and individuals to thrive.
