About
I am an Ivy League MBA, ex-Strategy Leader and Certified Executive Coach with 14+ years of experience advising CEOs, senior leaders, and Boards on leadership effectiveness, strategy, and transformation.
Through my own management consulting and leadership coaching firm, I have partnered with executives at billion-dollar corporations, governments, startups and scaleups, and global institutions to solve complex challenges and accelerate performance at scale.
I also have a passion for empowering emerging leaders - I’ve transformed 6,500+ lives globally through my impact-driven coaching startup and deliver innovative, neuroscience-backed leadershipn training programs to young professionals.
I am a strategic thinker - I excel at building deep, powerful relationships with senior leaders - and I am also a passionate doer. I have delivered multi-million-dollar impact repeatedly through my strategy and transformation work and earned a reputation as the go-to advisor and leader when the stakes are high and results must be delivered.
I believe in doing what you are passionate about and showing up with a fiery love for your work - and leadership development is both my passion and my expertise.
Whether you are a young professional early in your career, whether you are mid-career seeking more direction in your career, or, whether you are a senior leader needed leadership support.
I'd love to hear from you.
Thank you,
Amritha
