Meet CEO

“I believe in the power of global connections to drive exceptional market growth while investing in yourself to achieve peak performance.”

Meet the CEO

“I believe in the power of global connections to drive exceptional market growth while investing in yourself to achieve peak performance.”

Mother, wife, sister, friend … and a successful professional with 28 years of glorious corporate experience.

During my career, I’ve learned from and teamed with the best – most notably with GE, Dell and most recently as a Partner with Deloitte in Australia. My experience has mostly been in client-facing roles, building close relationships with senior CEOs and their leadership teams to solve their most complex problems. Clients I have proudly served include: American Express, British Telecom, Cargill, Citibank, Cochlear, DuPont, GE, Johnson & Johnson, Unilever and Walmart. 

In 2024, I founded xGlobal Consulting, the world’s first 100% global market activation firm with a mission to empower global CEOs and their innovative organizations to reach strategic clients and unlock growth opportunities, leveraging my ever-expanding global strategic networks to drive revenue and profit in international markets. 

I believe in the power of resetting mindsets and nurturing networks to unlock exciting new growth – personal, professional, and financial. My life’s theory? Make no excuses, be the best version of myself every day, and help others strive to become their best selves.

As a global brand ambassador for F.I.R.E – a global training organisation at the forefront of the new era of firewalking – a unique partnership with Joe White (F.I.R.E. President) transcended into us creating a ‘CXO Rehab’ program designed for C Suites, entrepreneurs, and senior leaders to completely reset and rewire their minds to tackle challenges head-on, lead teams, and prepare for future challenges, You can read more about my personal experience here.  linkedin 

Are you ready to be your best self?

My clients describe me as a confident and authentic leader with a ‘can do’ attitude – they know they can rely on me to connect the dots globally and deliver excellent results because I will always be authentic and tell it like it is. I also love helping executives operate outside their comfort zones to achieve fantastic results.

What makes me, me.

Born in Delhi, India, my journey began with a fierce ambition: to become financially independent and climb the corporate ladder. I achieved the first as a teenager and the latter with a ‘can do’ attitude throughout a long and successful career. I am a mother, wife, daughter, sister, and a friend to many. In each of these roles, I mastered the art of peak performance, making no excuses, and relying on my confidence and resilience to navigate many ups and a few downs. I’ve travelled to over 30 countries and now live in Melbourne with my family. I underpin my days with Yoga, reformer Pilates, Dog walks and enjoy camping on most long weekends. I have learned the most unbelievable life lessons by saying yes to ‘any and all’ adventure sports. From the Frozen River Trek in Ladakh, India, to bungee jumping in New Zealand, skydiving in Miami, and jumping into cenotes in Mexico, I’ve embraced life fully and encourage everyone to do so

Life, to me, is about saying YES to new experiences and surrounding yourself with like-minded individuals who believe in you. Join me on this exhilarating journey and let’s say YES to life’s adventures and successes together! #noexcuses

Lets begin!

Three lessons I’ve learned that will benefit you.

‘Become a Partner with Deloitte.’

In 2008, I scribbled these very words on my vision board. At the time, I was working in middle management, and leading the National Diversity and Community programs for more than 10,000 of Deloitte’s employees located in India’s growing offshore delivery centre. I knew that becoming a Partner for one of the Big 4 professional services firms was going to be very challenging given my internal-facing role at the time. Some would even say unrealistic! I also didn’t have a clear roadmap on how to make my goal a reality …

  • Did I doubt myself? Yes!
  • Did it stop me? No.
  • Did I face roadblocks? So many …
  • Did I succeed? Of course, yes!

So, what did I do? I reflected on my personal journey and realised that the below three success factors – life lessons, if you like – stood out:

First,
fearlessly be my best self

I considered the life choices I had made that truly gave me the peace of mind to be fearless, never make excuses and be myself. Most of us undermine the importance of having peace, love, health and happiness at home – but it’s the most important thing we should all strive towards

Second,
build my personal brand

I have a 100% track record of being non-judgmental, kind and authentic in every interaction with my stakeholders. I make no excuses, deeply invest in my clients and always tell it like it is to deliver the best outcomes. My mantra is ‘I will not waste your time, and please don’t waste mine’ – and it has served me well

Second,

Third,
nurture my global network

It didn’t matter how much I knew, but who I knew. This is where my superpower came in – my global network – which I could lean on to solve both client and personal matters. Most of us don’t even use this superpower, but it has made me unstoppable. I kept nurturing my network, day after day, year after year, breaking global boundaries to never give up, deliver exceptional results and achieve new milestones.

Having fulfilled my ambition to become a Partner, I reached the point where I asked myself ‘What’s going to be my next big challenge?’. That’s when the electrifying vision struck me: Fortify Brand India by creating a global network of Indian-origin CEOs and Executives to amplify their leadership influence across the global business landscape. As Ekhart Tolle said, “If not now, when?”.

I realised that I have a lot to offer others – and am passionate about sharing my life lessons so anyone can reach their full potential – no matter where they are in their journey. I thrive on helping established and emerging leaders transform their life, personal brand and global network – just like I have done.
