Dominique Ben Dhaou

Life is an experience to enjoy fully, every single day. I’m Dominique, and this statement has been my guiding light for as long as I can remember.

Born in Switzerland and raised traveling the world, I knew very early on that I would create a life for myself that extended beyond the borders of my own small country. In fact, I took steps at the ripe old age of 11 to secure my place at Lausanne’s world-renowned Hotel School when I turned 18! As a result, I was able to launch and build an intensely satisfying corporate career that allowed me to work abroad and travel the world while simultaneously gaining vast experience, leading remote teams, and making critical business decisions to solidify my position as a C-suite executive.

After 30 years in upper management of Human Resources, including countless awards, certifications, and advanced training programs, I came to the difficult realization that my career was no longer driving me, but draining me. I thought back to my guiding light statement from childhood and decided that my once-exciting career was now preventing me from enjoying the life I’d dreamt of and worked so hard to build. 
 
At 53, I bravely embarked on my own journey to entrepreneurship with the creation of my consulting firm, PointNorth International. Today, along with my team, I successfully help professionals and executives reinvent their careers to be in total alignment with their unique experiences, values, skills, and purpose. The impact and influence I create are unparalleled. The reward, purpose, and satisfaction I now feel are unlike anything I’ve ever experienced before.

With the unfailing support of my husband, along with my family in Switzerland and Tunisia where we split our time, I am proud to say that I have not only created the life I truly desire; it goes far beyond the limits I ever believed possible. Helping others to do the same is my life’s calling.
