I also host In the Line of Fire with Saraj – CEO/CXO Conversations, a leadership platform featuring global CEOs and CXOs sharing real-world perspectives on leadership, transformation, strategic decisions, business challenges, and executive lessons in context. At the core of my work is the Five-Dimensional Leadership Pathways™, a structured framework that helps leaders align across Self, Team, Business, and Organization to drive sustained performance and measurable outcomes. Hands-on experience in leading leadership capability building and transformation initiatives across regions including APAC, MENA, EMEA and the US, across industries such as IT, Aviation, Retail, IT/ITES, Healthcare, BPO, Lighting, AI solutions and EdTech. In my most recent role, I also led business development efforts, expanding organizational reach and enabling new growth opportunities. Happy to connect.
