« Change is the only constant in life ». Heraclitus

After graduating from ESSEC, I worked 18+ years in large multinational companies in the luxury, cosmetics and services sector as Director of HR and Talent Management functions. I partnered with senior executives at Codir and Comex level to drive people strategy in line with business imperatives, managed complex cultural and organisational changes (particularly within IT and Digital populations), and took great pleasure in detecting talents, building teams and developing executive leadership. I managed teams and projects across many cultures and geographies with a combination of strategic thinking and operational agility, an out-of-the-box approach, creativity and empathy.

Born and brought up in India, I have lived and worked in four countries (India, Mali, UK and France) and travelled extensively over several others. Major changes, both at personal and professional levels, have characterised my life so far, which has instilled in me the belief that changes always serve as catalysts for inner and outer transformations. Periods of transitions are therefore defining moments, potent with possibilities, a time for reflection, creation and focussed action. I enjoy supporting business executives through such moments of transformations, to help them strengthen their leadership vision, resilience and consciousness, so that they can have a greater impact on the world around them. Specific areas of focus: coaching with respect to executive careers (mobility, expatriation/impatriation, outplacement), onboarding in new roles, cultures and organisations (following mergers&acquisitions, digitalisation), or team leadership (cohesion and collaboration in multicultural environments, remote team management).

My leisure time is spent with family and friends, on writing, reading (business and economy, contemporary fiction, personal development, spirituality, sociology, psychology…), yoga, meditation, travelling and mentoring.

I love the rush of a stream in full flow and seeing how people – and teams – skilfully navigate the currents to get where they want to go. And if I can help to get them there, all the better!
