Tēnā koe, Vanakkam, I’m Shruthi Vijayakumar, originally from Southern India having since embraced New Zealand as a second home. I’m passionate about bringing about a way of living, leading and running business and our economy that is in harmony with our Earth. I’ve worked as a management consultant with Boston Consulting Group, run my own social enterprise modelling new ways of doing business, and today teach, coach and facilitate leadership and sustainability programmes. I received an MBA from University of Oxford, and have been fortunate to speak at platforms such as the World Economic Forum meeting in Davos.
Shruthi's Clients & Partners
Testimonials
I am enough” was the greatest takeaway from a one hour coaching session with Shruthi - and it’s something I remember almost everyday. Shruthi’s kind and approachable personality makes her the perfect coach and someone I would strongly recommend if you were interested.
Julian Cottee, Former Associate Director, Skoll Centre for Social Entrepreneurship
“A large part of Shruthi’s distinctive contribution lies in her ability to bring together great analytical and technical skills along with a strong sense of empathy to coach and support social entrepreneurs as individuals with hopes, fears, strengths and insecurities.”
Paolo Lanzarotti, CEO Asahi Breweries Europe Ltd
"If you want to speak to someone who is in tune with millennials, who bridges between old world thinkers and next generation doers, who doesn't just talk about theory but has stepped off one ladder and chosen to climb a new one and who thoughtfully engages through deliberate and calm provocation, I suggest you give Shruthi a call"
