Thobias Solheim

Before becoming a coach, Thoby spent 19 years in global investment banking, including as a founding divisional director at Macquarie’s startup cash business in South Africa. His own journey through active alcohol addiction and subsequent recovery – beginning in 2009 – sparked a life-changing pivot from corporate leadership to a career of service, empowerment, and insight.

Thoby is known for his empathetic style, combined with deep understanding of the high-pressure dynamics in demanding, performance-driven careers. He works best with those prepared to think expansively, challenge limiting beliefs, and take bold steps forward. His clients value his ability to balance strategic thinking with personal authenticity, co-creating pathways for both individual and organisational evolution.

His clients span global hedge funds, asset managers, private equity firms, investment banks, family offices, and biosciences leaders.

Outside his coaching practice, Thoby embraces adventure. He is often found traversing continents on his motorcycle, pursuing freedom, sport, and new perspectives.
