After 20+ years working across global organisations; from FMCG supply chains to extractive industries to financial services, Deepa has seen how change actually happens in radically different contexts.

​

She's worked with grassroots movements mobilising communities and C-suite leaders managing £multi-million transformations. She's navigated the complexity of scaling social enterprises whilst maintaining democratic principles, and helped extractive companies communicate genuine impact to sceptical investors and communities.

This breadth of experience across markets, sectors, and cultures has taught her that sustainable change isn't about perfect strategies, it's about creating the conditions where people can step into new possibilities together.

​

Deepa's approach is grounded in regenerative principles: change that strengthens systems rather than depleting them, strategies that work with human nature rather than against it, and solutions that create value for all stakeholders, not just shareholders.

Her cross-cultural background shapes everything she does. Growing up across cultures and speaking multiple languages taught her that transformation looks different everywhere, and that the best solutions emerge when diverse perspectives are genuinely included, not just consulted.

​

Whether she's helping leaders navigate complex stakeholder dynamics, designing strategies that balance commercial and social outcomes, or facilitating difficult conversations about uncomfortable truths, Deepa brings both commercial rigour and deeper thinking about what we're actually trying to create.

​

Through The ADDA, she's building experimental spaces where people can explore transformational change together - because she believes breakthrough thinking happens in community, not isolation.

​

Why diverse experience matters: Deepa sees patterns and possibilities that emerge from working across completely different worlds. She connects insights from grassroots movements to boardroom strategy, translates between stakeholder languages, and helps organisations learn from contexts they'd never normally encounter.

 

Every transformation starts with leaders willing to think differently about what's possible. Deepa helps them design for change that actually works - commercially and regeneratively.

 

She also believes serious work should be fun.
