“The time I took over the CEO role, coaching with Snigdha helped me think through priorities for transition. The business was recovering from a challenging period and thinking of high pace growth was critical. I was able to build a vision for the business and establish my credibility with the key stakeholders. She helped me understand and integrate perspectives from different stakeholders to navigate through the complexity and scope of the business. Her ability to challenge and push me out of my comfort zone allowed me to take some bold steps which I had hesitated on in earlier role.”
