About

As a trained Co-Active Coach and certified Enneagram Practitioner, I integrate proven coaching methodologies with life experience to help individuals unlock their strengths and navigate transformation with confidence. I am a firm advocate of lifelong learning and development and am currently pursuing my Executive MBA as part of my commitment to #alwaysbelearning. Work experience: I am a results-driven leader with over 13 years of experience in strategic, data-informed decision-making, dedicated to empowering individuals and teams to reach their fullest potential. I have worked in tech, consulting and a scale up. My expertise spans diverse analytics domains—financial services, risk management, marketing, talent development, corporate learning, and sales analytics—applied across multiple industries and global contexts. Having lived in Australia, Singapore, and Germany, and worked extensively in India, the U.S., South Korea, Spain, and London, I bring a truly international perspective to coaching and leadership. For the past nine years, I have collaborated with and now lead a global team across the U.S., Europe, and Asia, guiding them through complex challenges while fostering growth and resilience.
