Professional Experience
Jaya, a mother of two, has made Mumbai her home since she graduated from business school in 1997. Her Army background, multi-cultural upbringing and human interaction skills became the building blocks of a rewarding career of 17 years with the Banking Industry (Citibank and Kotak). Her unrelenting focus on client needs, relationships and trust qualified her to be chosen among the first private bankers by Citibank – a path she laid for others to follow. While at Citibank, Jaya was awarded three Chairman's Council Awards – two as best private banker and one as best branch manager. The steady and loyal client base she built also rewarded her with multiple Shooting Star awards (for growth in AUMs and Revenues). In 2014, at the peak of her career, Jaya decided to pursue her dream to be a full time coach.
While she was in the banking industry, Jaya's ability to interact with people in an equitable manner besides creating a trustful environment made her a strong consultative figure. She solidified her abilities to influence and inspire by completing a formal training in leadership coaching with Leadership That Works, an affiliate of International Coaching Federation (http://www.leadershipthatworks.com). Now, as an Associate Certified Coach, she uses her wealth of banking experience to provide one-on-one leadership coaching to executives across verticals. Helping individuals align their personal aspirations with goals of the organization and helping organizations motivate and retain by inducing a collaborative culture.
While she is not working, Jaya devotes quite a bit of time to painting – a passion she has nurtured for over a decade. In 2014, Jaya took her first formal learnings in painting from University College London.
