Your insider guide to career reinvention

I’m Padma, a former recruiter and talent leader who now coaches senior women in marketing, PR, and digital. Over 20 years, I’ve helped women like you reclaim visibility and land roles that reflect your actual worth.

Unlike other coaches, I’ve seen hiring from every angle because I lived it. I know exactly how your experience gets filtered out, misunderstood, or underestimated. I also know how to reposition it as your competitive advantage.

You’ve spent your career delivering excellent work. Now it’s time someone invested in your success.

Specialised Expertise

I’ve spent nearly a decade recruiting exclusively in marketing, PR, and digital. I understand your industry inside and out.

Real-World Insight

I’ve been in the senior seat and the recruiter’s chair. I’ve experienced the burnout, the overwhelm, and the frustration of being overlooked despite delivering results.

Mission rooted in change

I walked away from a toxic leadership role: burnt out, overlooked, and invisible, even while working harder than ever. That’s why I coach. To help you leave careers that deplete you and land in roles where you’re valued.
