Digital Partnerships Lead - Payment Platforms/Acquirers & Social Networks

Coach and confidante to founders and senior leaders | Sharing tips and stories on leadership and transforming self | Ex R3, Visa, PayPal, and BCG

I coach founders and senior leaders – but really, I coach and guide the human behind the job title. 

People work with me to: 
- Learn from my experience and accelerate growth
- Simplify how they lead themselves and their teams
- Develop skills and new ways to think or see the world
- Clarify who they want to be and what they really want in life
- Change behaviours that dampen their performance
- Feel lighter instead of constant overwhelm or stress 

Coaching is fulfilling, joyful and energetic. Every client and session teaches me something new – about leadership or myself. 

I spent 20+ years in startup and corporate roles – learning behaviours and mindsets to lead myself and my teams effectively. I discovered leading can be both fun and results-driven.

I experimented with my career and my life: 
- I took many roles - engg. manager, strategist, ops guy, and then partnerships and sales 
- I worked and lived in different parts of the world - Middle East, USA, South East Asia.

I made life pivots. I dealt with the fear of bringing my income down to zero (twice!) before rebuilding it to higher levels.

I started leading in 2004 (at Wipro), and realised that inspiring and motivating others requires self-awareness and continuous personal development.

At BCG, I learned the foundations of business and leadership.

At HP, PayPal and Visa, I managed, influenced, and motivated without reporting line authority. I survived and thrived in matrixed organisations. I learned how to align, inspire, and clarify. 

At R3, I dug deep to explore myself. I discovered how to support leaders who were topic experts and more experienced than me. I learned how to tap into their intrinsic motivation to enable results we cared for.

These experiences led me to be a coach. I decided to spend the second half of my life actively serving others. I am on constantly learning, feeling challenged, and serving. I share my learnings on LinkedIn regularly.

If you want to work with me, here’s how I can support you:

1) 1:1 COACHING: We would work on what matters most to you – your biggest challenges and opportunities, over several months. We will meet at least twice a month.

2) 360 FEEDBACK: Leaders rarely get high quality (or any) feedback. I will speak to your stakeholders to understand how they see you. I will bring that back to you to reflect and take action.

3) GROUP COACHING / LEADERSHIP PROGRAMMES: With trusted partners, I coach leadership teams towards high performance.
