WHY WORK WITH ME

DEI Subject Matter Expert

Being an effective DEI leader requires more than passion—it demands deep expertise, resilience, and the ability to influence at all levels. The specialist knowledge needed cannot be underestimated. This includes:

  • Legal and regulatory awareness

  • Creating and sustaining culture change

  • Measuring the impact of DEI interventions

  • Understanding the systemic challenges faced by underrepresented groups

  • Aligning people and DEI strategies to overall organisational goals

  • Communicating effectively with a range of stakeholders

These are skills built over time through experience and continuous learning. By partnering with me, you gain access to this expertise—and a proven ability to deliver real, lasting change.

International People Leader

As an international people leader, I am committed to building inclusive workplaces where colleagues feel a deep sense of belonging and are empowered to thrive globally. My HR background equips me to transform systems, policies, and processes to support inclusive cultures. I also bring strong experience in developing leadership capability and building diverse talent pipelines across multiple geographies.

Coaching with Cultural Intelligence

My coaching approach is shaped by both professional training and lived experience. I coach with an awareness of broader cultural, religious, class, and socioeconomic contexts—not just the immediate issue a client presents. While I coach individuals from all backgrounds, I specialise in supporting women and ethnically diverse professionals who often seek a coach who understands their worldview. My clients value the depth of empathy and insight I bring to the coaching relationship.

Relevant Lived Experience

Lived experience alone does not qualify someone to lead DEI work—but it can provide valuable insight and authenticity.

As an Asian woman and working mother, I’ve experienced firsthand the organisational and societal barriers that limit progress for many women and underrepresented individuals. These experiences fuel my commitment to changing the narrative.

My parents, immigrants to the UK, built successful lives through hard work and education. My mother, a GP who ran her own practice, overcame both cultural and professional challenges—she remains a constant reminder of what is possible and what remains to be done.

I want individuals to thrive in their careers, communities, and homes—not just professionally, but as whole people with their health and wellbeing intact.

Understanding these challenges—and having overcome many of them—enables me to be an empathetic, credible, and strategic partner to organisations and individuals striving for lasting impact.
