About Dimitri Pieries
Certified Performance & Executive Coach | Founder of Vergence
Dimitri Pieries is on a mission to help every client thrive in a high-performance, purpose- driven professional life. He operates on a core philosophy of cognitive clarity: “People only get better at what they do after they understand what they feel.”
The Counselor-Coach Advantage
Dimitri’s competitive edge is his dual identity as a certified mental health counselor. Backed by over 9 years of counseling experience, he developed his signature “diagnostic” coaching method—a hybrid framework that identifies emotional disruptions and mental struggles while working towards an achievable goal. This method reveals hidden “blind spots” that traditional coaching misses. By addressing the root psychological barriers stalling growth, Dimitri launches leaders into peak performance with lasting momentum.
International Industry Experience
Dimitri brings over a decade of international experience across Los Angeles and Melbourne. His background spans employment at corporate sales at Xerox USA (Fortune 500), international conglomerates such as Pizza Hut, and premier local hospitality brands Jetwing Hotels and McLarens Hotels. As a performance coach, Dimitri has deployed his frameworks across diverse, high-stakes
sectors:
- Finance Institutions: Sampath Bank, PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC)
- F&B Providers: Barista, Java Lounge
- Tech Ecosystems: Digital solution providers; Motion Miracles
