Personal Background
Prem is a deeply curious and driven individual with a rich tapestry of interests that span technology, sports and fitness, science, space exploration, psychology, current affairs and finance. My passion lies in understanding the world from multiple perspectives—whether it’s exploring the frontiers of space, unraveling human behavior, or delving into the intricate workings of markets and technology. This curiosity fuels both my personal and professional pursuits, enabling me to connect ideas across disciplines and drive meaningful change.
As a leader, I believe in the power of uniting people behind a shared vision. One of my proudest achievements was transforming the culture of a large, highly political team of 150 into a cohesive, mission-driven unit. By fostering trust, aligning goals, and empowering individuals to bring their best, I helped the team break down silos, embrace collaboration, and execute with clarity and purpose. This transformation not only drove outstanding results but also instilled a sense of pride and camaraderie that left a lasting legacy.
Outside of work, I channel my curiosity and passion for growth into helping others unlock their potential. Whether mentoring colleagues, sharing insights on peak performance, or promoting health and wellness, I am energized by the opportunity to inspire and elevate those around me. At the core of everything I do is a deep desire to learn, grow, and make a positive impact—both in the workplace and beyond.
Coaching Style
- Open, authentic, honest and non-judgmental
- Accountability and goal-orientation with a focus on outcomes
- Empowering and engaging to foster candid conversations
Prem firmly believes that respect and empathy and the foundations of building trust. We have to make others “want to work with us (implicit leadership)”, not because “they have to work with us (explicit leadership)”. This drives his coaching style and interactions with others.
Personal Philosophy
“Today is where the past and the future collide”
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, it’s today that matters. Focus on constant and consistent execution today and you WILL see results.
