Description

I am an executive coach, consultant, and healthcare practitioner with over 16 years of global experience across clinical practice, operations, and organisational transformation. With a career that spans world-class institutions such as the Mayo Clinic and UCLA Medical Center, I bring deep expertise in healthcare systems—and a unique diagnostic lens that informs my work with individuals, teams, and organisations.

My foundation in clinical science and patient care has sharpened my ability to observe, assess, and respond to complex human needs with precision, empathy, and systemic thinking—skills that I now apply in coaching and consulting to help clients gain insight into behavioural patterns, group dynamics, and organisational blind spots.

As Head of Clinical Operations in a health-tech startup, I expanded my portfolio beyond traditional healthcare, leading data-driven transformation initiatives and forging partnerships with insurers and corporate stakeholders. This role ignited my passion for change leadership and inspired my transition into the broader field of organisational development.

To further build on this path, I joined the prestigious Executive Master in Change program at INSEAD, where I immersed myself in systems psychodynamics and organisational psychology. My clients value my ability to integrate analytical thinking with relational depth and clinical clarity with emotional insight. I am especially attuned to transitional moments—whether personal, professional, or systemic—where clarity and courage are most needed.
