Through out my career I’ve really enjoyed developing talent and building high performing teams across the globe.

I was born and brought up in Birmingham UK and am extremely proud of my roots and heritage across India, East Africa and UK. My background, community connectivity, experiences and passion allow me to deeply connect with people from similar backgrounds and as such I’ve been a strong sponsor, mentor and campaigner for education across multiple initiatives positively impacting communities in the UK and in India. I am very driven in the pursuit of my purpose and whilst not fully defined and evolving, its geared around using my skills, experiences, connections and pathways to support people from the minorities and tough socio-economic backgrounds with the ambition, confidence and access to unlock their full potential.
