Beena Kavalam

Beena partners with corporate executives to help them look strategically at their careers and in turn their work and their lives.  She challenges them to shift their perspectives about leadership and success and co-designs a personalized career roadmap that elevates the executive’s leadership for optimal impact. 

With her ‘Indian Jersey girl’ direct and warm style of communication, Beena’s clients often cite her ability to quickly get to the core of an issue as enabling much needed clarity, direction, and momentum for themselves and their teams.  In addition, Beena’s years of experience in management consulting and in brand management enable her to pivot in the moment from executive coach to corporate sounding board and strategic advisor and clients view this as a key competitive advantage. 

Beena is the author of the forthcoming book Gravitas: How Talented Workers Become High-Value Leaders, and is a professional speaker, trainer and workshop leader.
