Over the past seven months, I've been honoured with seven different recognitions, each reflecting the hard work, dedication, and perseverance that I bring to my role in resource management. From the very first day, I was determined to make a meaningful impact. Each recognition symbolizes not just individual achievements, but also the collaborative efforts and unwavering support of my incredible team. In my first month, adapting to a fast-paced environment and contributing to key projects set the foundation for the months to follow. As a people person, empathy plays a crucial role in my daily interactions. Recognitions for exceptional teamwork and leadership potential highlight the importance of understanding and supporting my colleagues. It's through empathy that we build strong relationships, foster collaboration, and drive collective success. Innovation and continuous improvement have been guiding principles throughout my journey. Bringing fresh ideas and striving for excellence not only enhanced client satisfaction but also fueled my personal and professional growth. The recognitions for impact that matters and exemplary performance are a testament to the importance of going above and beyond to exceed expectations. Perseverance has been the cornerstone of my achievements. Facing challenges head-on and maintaining a commitment to excellence has been rewarding in more ways than one. These seven recognitions are a reminder that hard work and dedication do not go unnoticed. They are celebrated and cherished, inspiring me to continue pushing boundaries and setting new benchmarks. I've compiled a PDF documenting each recognition and the journey behind it. I hope it serves as an inspiration and a testament to the power of perseverance, empathy, and teamwork. Thank you to everyone at PwC for believing in me and providing the platform to grow and excel. Here's to many more milestones and shared successes! #PwC #Consulting #Recognition #Perseverance #Empathy #Teamwork #Innovation #ClientImpact #Leadership

A Heartfelt Farewell to PwC UK: A Journey of Growth, Support, and Meaningful Connections. After an incredible stint at PwC UK, it’s time to bid farewell to this chapter of my life. If I had to sum it up in one line, I’d say: It’s been an amazing journey! What makes PwC truly special isn’t just the big-name clients or the challenging projects — it’s the #PEOPLE. From day one, I’ve been surrounded by inspiring colleagues and leaders who genuinely care about each other’s growth and well-being. The culture here is rooted in support, understanding, and kindness. It’s rare to find a workplace where management invests in you not just as a professional, but as a person with your dreams, challenges, and life beyond work. 💙 Whether it was encouraging work-life balance, providing mentorship, or fostering a space for continuous learning, PwC has always shown that it’s about more than just business — it’s about creating lasting relationships and building an environment where everyone can truly thrive. I feel so fortunate to have been part of such a forward-thinking, people-first culture. But, like all great stories, this chapter has ended. As I look ahead with excitement, I’m also reflecting on the friendships, growth, and lessons that have shaped me during this journey. To my incredible mentors (Jason Sutherland, Sanjay Patel, Samir Luheshi, Kevin Doig, Ben Lingwood), colleagues (Doug, Elliott Smith ☁️, Hamish Ralfe, Emmanuel Onyenanu, Tim Perry, Robert Leishman, Danielle Richardson, Saurabh Joshi, Chris Connelly, Zoe Liu, Amit Kumar, Anna Maria Faras-Pagowska MBCS, MA, MSc, Catherine Davies, Arina K., Iva Blazecki, Marcus Weeks, Mariam Metwally and Karim Farahat), and teams, thank you for everything. You’ve pushed me to grow, supported me in countless ways, and made this experience unforgettable. 🙏 The future is full of endless possibilities, and I’m excited to embrace every step of the journey ahead. While change often comes with a touch of bittersweetness, I believe it’s the doorway to something truly extraordinary. Stay tuned exciting things are on the horizon! #Gratitude #NextChapter #ChangeIsComing #CareerJourney #PwC #OnwardAndUpward #StayTuned

Recognizing the Impact of Our Choices -I'm deeply sorry to hear about the tragic loss of the EY employee & my heart goes out to her and her loved ones. I see it time and again—young professionals working for Big 4 firms, stuck at home behind screens with no client interaction, no peer relationships, and no opportunity to develop interpersonal skills. They report to micromanagers (far from any leadership traits) who themselves are often trapped in the just IFRS provisions. And yet, these young professionals choose this path, because it sounds impressive to their social circles. It’s about that moment when a father proudly tells his friend, "My son/daughter works for a Big 4 firm." However, is placing all the blame solely on EY entirely fair ?  Life isn’t that straightforward. Remember that the outcomes we face are rooted in the decisions we’ve made to a great extent. This pattern isn’t limited to jobs—it extends to almost every aspect of life. What are your thoughts ?

My Perspective on My Time at EY: With all the discussions around EY, I wanted to take a moment to share my own experience during my journey with the firm. When I joined EY, I was still relatively new to consulting—despite having worked at KPMG before my MBA. Consulting has evolved quite a bit since then, but EY gave me the perfect platform to learn, grow, and thrive from the ground up. The journey was challenging, but the rewards were immense. I had the privilege of working with Fortune 50 clients, gaining deep insights into their businesses, and discovering what it truly means to be a successful consultant. Managing external and internal projects simultaneously wasn’t always easy, but I found that staying committed to learning helped me navigate the challenges and balance my work and life effectively.  One key takeaway from my experience: no single event should define a company’s culture. Every project brings its own unique demands, and many times those are driven by client needs just as much as internal ones. However, throughout my time at EY, I consistently saw a workplace that prioritized balance, personal growth, and the well-being of its people. The opportunities to upskill and improve were numerous, and I’m grateful for how they shaped me into a better professional, prepared for the dynamic world of consulting. I look back at my time with EY with immense appreciation for the growth, learning, and success that came with it. #EYJourney #Gratitude #LearningAndGrowth #ConsultingLife

Reflecting on my career journey, making the decision to leave KPMG Global was one of the hardest choices I had to make few years back. I was doing well, I had a fantastic team, my work was being recognized, and I was growing professionally. Prior to KPMG,I was with EY so the idea of stepping away from the Big 4 world was daunting. Naturally, many questioned my choice: "Why not join Deloitte or PwC and continue the Big 4 path?" Do the PARIKRAMA is what they say! After all, the Big 4 is where many believe you should stay if you want to climb the corporate ladder. But my gut feeling said something else-told me to take the less travelled path (credit to Robert Frost). And that’s when Acuity Knowledge Partners came into the picture. I’ll admit, the decision wasn’t easy. Acuity was a different environment from the world I was accustomed to, and I wasn’t sure if I was making the right move. But a very dear friend told me ‘Keep swimming Nemo” and i took that leap of faith. I am going to complete 2 years with this firm and I couldn’t be prouder of my decision to join Acuity. I’m incredibly grateful to work at a company that’s not just recognized as a great place to work but is genuinely a fantastic place to grow and thrive. I’ve had the privilege of learning from some of the best minds in the industry, while also bringing forward some of the best practices I gained during my time with the Big 4’s. The past two years have reaffirmed that sometimes, stepping off the beaten path leads to unexpected and fulfilling opportunities. To anyone who’s considering a change, don’t be afraid to trust your instincts—your gut often knows where you’re meant to go. #CareerJourney #ESG #Leadership #Big4 #AcuityKnowledgePartners #Gratitude #KeepMoving #Sustainability #HRLeaders
