Rooted in practice.
Experienced in building.
Values above all.
I build organizations that help genuine spiritual teachers share their wisdom with more people, and grow into self-sustaining institutions that don’t depend on any single person.
Spirituality has been an important part of my life since childhood. I was fortunate to be surrounded by remarkable, truly magical people who guided me. I have been through many practices, and today practice is part of every day: set hours devoted to it, and something deeper that has become the core of who I am.
Alongside it, I built a career in very different forms of business, across geographies, ideologies and cultures. Having recently crossed 40, I wanted to shift my focus, and I found a way to bring together two vital parts of my life that once looked like a dilemma, commercial success and spirituality. They became one, and that is where my vision and my strength come from.
YOU BUILT SOMETHING REAL
You started with a spiritual practice. People came, trusted you and kept coming back. That is rare, and it cannot be manufactured.
Now the school depends on your time. Every program, every message and every decision passes through you. You would like to help more people, but you are wary of what growth does to a teaching: the funnels, the pressure, the slow slide into selling.
You don’t need a marketer. You need a partner who understands that your students’ trust is the real asset, and who knows how to build a team, a structure and an economy around it.
I help teachers turn their practice into a lasting school that grows without losing the values it began with.
WHAT I BELIEVE
WHAT I BRING
I have worked in very different worlds: from scrappy bootstrapped startups to buttoned-up global corporations, across industries, roles and niches, with multicultural teams in Asia, Europe and North America.
Grew inside a global corporation.
At Halliburton I built a key account into a Top-2 account, then led Software and Digital Services across Russia and the CIS.
Made organizations work across boundaries.
As Chief Business Officer of a multi-company fintech group, I aligned 6 companies on one operating workflow and roughly tripled delivery throughput.
Came to know the contemplative side from the inside.
Three years building Sambodha, a mindfulness app, from concept to first paying users. It taught me to read the signals of difficulty early and change course in time.
Built an education company from zero.
OMKARA Leela began as an idea and became programs, a platform and a community serving thousands of customers. Within six months its valuation rose 10x.
THREE WAYS WE COULD WORK TOGETHER
Together we choose a single offer, build it, and aim to launch and take first payments within about a month.
A school, a community, a retreat center or any other form, online or offline. We find what actually limits growth (demand, team, quality or your own attention) and run one pilot.
Investing in spiritual work takes someone who understands business, holds unwavering values and knows this world from the inside. If you are looking for such a person, let’s talk.
Every collaboration begins with a small pilot: one program, defined roles, shared success criteria, and the right for either of us to stop.
