Executive Coach
“What does it really mean to ‘thrive’?”
Over the past two-plus decades, I have worked with Executives, Leaders and Entrepreneurs in India, US, and Europe and as CEO of non-profit, Maitri India. I have come to realise that many of the sharpest and brightest minds don’t know their strengths. In my view, being clear about your strengths and being deliberate in playing to them, is a major contributing factor to thriving both at work and in life.
My own work experience has been with organisations such as Dow Jones Newswires, Aon Hewitt and McKinsey Knowledge Center. I draw on all the career insights gathered across 20 + years, to inspire those I coach to live & operate from a place of authenticity as an individual and as a leader.
