About Us

Vantage Point Partners is a London based company founded by Antoinette Hennessy, who is an energetic and results driven coach.  Her coaching philosophy is ‘the possibilities are endless’ and she truly believes that individuals and organisations can go from being good to great using the powerful intervention of coaching.

She gained her career development expertise whilst working for a leading hr outplacement company.  During that time she worked with numerous clients from global investment banks such as Deutsche, Morgan Stanley, UBS and Barclays.  Her clients have ranged from associates to leaders of global teams.   She has also coached clients from a variety of industries including insurance, education, legal, media and retail. 

Before committing to her passion for coaching, Antoinette spent 20 years working for financial institutions based in London.    Her successful career saw her gain broad organisational experience from back office culminating in client facing sales and business generation where she led a team selling multi-million sized primary bond transactions for global companies such as Volvo, Scania and Volkswagen.    She developed a broad knowledge of global economics, industry sectors such as oil & gas, transport, engineering and the corporate world.   Her colleagues described her as motivational and her key skill for developing relationships with high profile investors throughout Europe and in London, such as Gartmore and Schroders, led to many profitable transactions.    She gained a high profile reputation within the syndicated loan market and still retains an extensive network of contacts.    Having worked for Australian, American, Japanese and Swedish institutions she has an excellent understanding of different cultures and an indepth knowledge of the Nordic culture.
