I’m an independent learning and development consultant based in Mumbai. I work globally.
I aim to inspire people to be their best through meaningful learning experiences. As an organisational coach (International Coaching Federation, Associate Certified Coach), I help leaders achieve their full potential. As a facilitator and coach I help participants to communicate effectively with stakeholders globally.
My clients include global investment banks, conglomerates, pharmaceutical companies, professional services firms, branding agencies, risk consultancies, think tanks and not-for-profits.
I’ve lived in India since 2017. Previously, I was in Hong Kong for four years where I worked for Manulife, coordinating their pan-Asia communications strategy.
Before Asia, I was based in Dubai as a correspondent for Reuters covering business and politics across the Middle East. Assignments took me to Iraq, Saudi Arabia and Sudan. I moved on to join the regional communications team at General Motors Middle East.
I speak good Arabic, reasonable French, and can get by in Hindi. I studied Arabic with Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies at university and spent a year of my course at a language school in Yemen.
Outside work, my passion is traveling and I love mountain trekking. I’m a big foodie, avid reader and keen sportsman. I regularly play cricket, football, touch rugby and I’m a keen runner. In 2023, I ran the Ladakh marathon, one of the highest in the world at 3,500m altitude.
