Let’s work together.
Dr. Pavani K. Ram, MD, Leadership Advisor and Coach
I work with purpose-driven professionals in academia, healthcare, government, NGOs, and multilateral organizations—leaders who care deeply about their work and the people and principles they serve.
Leadership today demands strategic insight, emotional intelligence, disciplined time management, and sustained resilience. It’s meaningful work—and it’s a lot.
I get it. With more than 25 years as a physician and global health leader, I’ve led complex teams, managed large portfolios, advised senior executives, and ultimately stepped into those leadership roles myself. It was deeply rewarding, and the hardest work I’ve ever done.
I’ve made missteps, learned from outstanding coaches, and seen what’s possible with the right support. We all benefit from—and deserve—a trusted advisor. As a Marshall Goldsmith Stakeholder-Centered Coach, I partner with leaders like you to achieve meaningful, measurable leadership growth, while building the resilience needed to sustain it.
