My story
From small-town dreams to the biggest stages.
Don't let your circumstances define you. Have the courage to change them. That belief carried me to Vice President at BNY, and it's the same belief I bring to every college, boardroom and stage that invites me in.

The journey
From textbooks, to boardrooms, and now to the podium.
My story didn't start with privilege or connections. It started with a small-town dream and a stubborn refusal to accept that where I began had to be where I'd end. Over 19+ years I built a career across some of the world's most respected institutions: Deutsche Bank, Fiserv, Zensar, TAFE, and today BNY, where I serve as Vice President.
Along the way I earned a Harvard Business School CORe credential and, in 2025, was named among the 200 Most Influential Women Leading Finance & Web3 on LinkedIn, ranked #95 globally. But the milestone I am proudest of is not a title. It is the rooms: college auditoriums, corporate offsites, community halls, where something I said changed how someone saw their own potential.
The Transformation Journey
That girl in the school photo had no idea she would stand on this side of the podium one day.
- A small town, a school photographThe girl circled in yellow, in a classroom nobody had heard of.
- The first corporate deskNo shortcuts. Just learning the skills the world actually pays for.
- Vice President at BNYNineteen years, five global institutions, one stubborn belief.
- The stage, todayI tell her story because someone in every room is that girl.
What I stand for
The principles behind every talk and training
Courage over comfort
Growth lives on the other side of the decisions that scare you. I teach you to make them anyway.
Practical over theoretical
Every lesson is drawn from real corporate work, so it becomes something you can use on Monday morning.
Generosity over gatekeeping
Knowledge grows when it is shared. I hold nothing back, because your growth is the whole point.
Career milestones
Two decades in global finance, now carried to the stage
Leading in global finance at one of the world's largest custodian banks.
College programs, corporate training, women's empowerment and community events across India.
An education platform for practical, career-changing skills.
Two decades of finance leadership across global organisations.

Beyond the boardroom
Discipline shows up in marathons too, not just markets.
The same stubbornness that got me to Vice President gets me to the finish line on race day. I talk about resilience because I practise it: in negotiations, in building a business, and on the days when the finish line is still a long way off.
