I am a first-generation American, raised by parents who immigrated from India with big dreams and even bigger expectations. As a child, I believed that hard work defined self-worth and that success followed a straight, predictable path. But life had other plans, that forced me to rethink everything I thought I knew.
With 30 years of experience as a finance and legal professional, professor, entrepreneur, ex-felon, and mental health advocate, I was uprooted by unimaginable challenges. Fear and uncertainty could have broken me, but I made a choice to step into discomfort, embrace vulnerability, and adapt at every moment.
The RISE ProcessTM became my foundation, helping me push through adversity and reclaim my purpose. Today, I work with leaders and organisations worldwide, guiding them to cultivate resilience, leadership, and transformational growth.
As an Ivy League-educated attorney, Wall Street investment banker, serial entrepreneur, and college professor, I built a thriving career. But one blind spot changed everything, leading me through a life-altering experience in federal prison.
Instead of letting adversity define me, I used it to grow. Now, as a globally recognized transformation expert, I share my journey to spark tough but necessary conversations, resilience, and the power of self-awareness in leadership.
