Meet The Founder: Cristina Pires
Why Partner With Me? Experience Meets Empathy. Strategy Meets Support. I am a Global Mobility Consultant & Relocation Wellbeing Coach, my foundation of trust is built on a lifetime of navigating relocations transitions and a profound commitment to human flourishing.
After 32 years working in corporate quality systems, compliance, and staff training, I understand the operational pressures behind global mobility. But I also understand the human side, because I’ve lived it. As the child of a trailing spouse and an expat partner since 2001 (in both academic and aeronautic environments), I’ve seen what it takes to navigate international assignments as a family.
In 2019, when my husband’s job relocated us to France, I made the bold decision to retire from the corporate sector. This wasn’t an end, but a pivotal moment to fulfil a long-held vision: establishing Steps to Comfort in 2021, to support you and your family relocate with ease and to help companies support not just the move, but the people behind it, so everyone thrives. All the international assignments should be an opportunity for growth, not a gamble.
What Makes the Difference?
✅ Empathy meets strategy – I understand the emotional and operational stakes
✅ Transition planning – not just logistics, but identity, belonging & adaptation
✅ ROI protection – better retention, stronger outcomes, less stress
💡 Partner with a Global Mobility Consultant who sees the whole picture — Talent, Family, and business Goals,
Together we will navigate the challenges, celebrate milestones, and transform your move into a positive and empowering experience.
