Jatin's Bio
Jatin DeSai is a seasoned business executive, strategic consultant and
a coach for senior leadership teams and emerging leaders. His approach
is that of alignment between the “inner and outer”, and helping them to
see opportunities outside of their secure known ‘playgrounds’. Jatin has
been active in leadership and operating roles since 1983, and as a consultant
in pre and post-IPO companies. He helped address and manage the complex
issues of worldwide market strategies, positioning and market expansion,
and the development and application of smart workgroup tools and models.
He was intimately involved with the creation of such tools. Throughout
his career Jatin has found that one of the things he truly enjoys and
is most passionate about is creating opportunities for others, empowering
them and seeing them fully realize their potential. He has successfully
led, coached, mentored and consulted with many management teams from small
family owned business to Fortune 100 corporations.
Jatin’s
uniqueness as advisor comes from the combination of great sensitivity
to the challenges of the leader with first hand experience as a professional
in the domain. He can intimately relate to the spontaneous demands, the
operational 'in-flux' and complexities of leading an organization. He
is familiar with the reporting requirements, the challenges of simultaneously
managing relationships internally and externally. He appreciates the difficulties
of making tough decisions under constraints.
