HELLO, I AM SANITA.
I believe great leadership begins with personal transformation. To lead others, we must first lead ourselves. By blending research from leadership, change management, psychology, and well-being, I empower professionals, founders, and teams to go beyond what seems possible, using practical, actionable strategies.
My journey spans global corporate boardrooms to remote mountain landscapes, always driven by a commitment to authentic connection, sustainable change, and impactful leadership. I hold over two decades of global leadership experience, including senior roles at Johnson & Johnson, and have worked across three continents and 10 countries, bringing deep cultural insight into leadership needs.
I’m passionate about helping individuals and organizations embrace a purpose-driven, human-centered leadership approach. I believe authentic leadership, rooted in well-being and alignment, is key to creating lasting impact and navigating today’s complex challenges.
Outside of leadership work, I pursue a life Beyond the ordinary—climbing remote mountains and facilitating self-discovery retreats. Through my newsletter, “Beyond,” I share insights on finding deeper fulfillment, meaning, and impact in both leadership and life.
Most of all, I love what I do—helping people step out of their comfort zones, realize their potential, and create lasting impact. I love watching my clients learn, grow and thrive.
