Hema has built a multi-award-winning business teaching heart intelligence as a way to lead in today’s world. She is the founder of a self-development and leadership consultancy, as well as Haven Leadership + Wellness Retreats. Her work with organisations including Google, Dubai Future Foundation, Bamford (eco-luxury), The Conduit and Soho House explores why today’s world requires more than intellect to lead. It takes heart, the ability to elevate emotions, thinking, relationships, ideas, inclusion and impact.

As a visionary psychologist, mentor and speaker, Hema empowers people and organisations to redefine success on their own terms and contribute to legacies of love and purpose. She developed Purpose & Play™, a heart-centered leadership innovation program, and has delivered keynote addresses for audiences from big tech companies to private foundations on heart-centered change leadership and AI transformation. She was named one of the top four innovation business mentors in a UK government-led award and holds EMCC Master Accreditation.

Hema is the author of the forthcoming The Silent Heartache of High Achievers: The Greatest Gift You Can Give to Humanity Is to Heal Yourself (2027).
