OUR TEAM

With a global corporate career that spans more than 100 years

Meet Your

Chief Transformation Officer​

Coming from a very humble background with both parents being semi-literate,  Ganesh Vaideeswaran (GV as he is known amongst his friends) was the first graduate in his family.  With his natural ability to absorb things quickly and his passion to pursue excellence at all costs, he also qualified himself as a Chartered Accountant and a Cost Accountant from India apart from a CPA, CIA, and a CMA from the USA.  
One thing that Ganesh has always believed in is Education is not the learning of the facts but the training of the mind to think. He has tried and implemented this throughout his training and mentoring career across the globe that runs to more than two decades. With a global corporate career that spans more than 33 years,  Ganesh was the Head of multi-continental operations of a huge global conglomerate until recently when he decided to take a full-time plunge in guiding and transforming the lives of those who are in need of one. Education is the Best Gift that one can give to someone, says Ganesh, and he wants to leave behind a legacy that he can look at with pride and satisfaction when he hangs up his boots.
What if we told you “You do not belong here. You are destined for greater things”?
The greatest teams enable you to visualize success.
