Hi, I’m Preeti Kurani

If you know me from my prior life, you know I’ve spent over two decades in the luxury jewelry industry. A lesser-known fact is that I’m deeply passionate about people empowerment.

So six years ago, when life threw me a curveball with a Multiple Sclerosis (MS) relapse, I used the time to reconnect to myself and align my passions. And thus began my journey as an Executive Coach.

Let's connect over coffee if you are intrigued or inspired by what you read. I’d love to get to know you and learn about your experiences, motivators, dreams, and what got you here.

My Background

Before becoming a coach, I established a strong legacy in the luxury diamond and jewelry industry, working with some of the most iconic global organizations, including De Beers and the Gemological Institute of America.

However, my corporate career hasn’t been linear.

Over two decades, I have worked across various levels and functions (such as sales, business operations, and people development); in business setups (including startups, regional organizations, and global MNCs); and with individuals from diverse backgrounds and continents (Asia, Europe, America, Australia, and Oceania). I have built businesses, navigated bureaucracy, and broken barriers, from corporate red tape to cultural ceilings.

My extensive corporate experience and personal experiences navigating the corporate world as a brown woman, along with geographical moves and multi-level and functional corporate leadership, add a deeper nuance to understanding resilience, change, reinvention, and transition—lessons I bring to the leaders and businesses I support.

On a personal level, I was born and raised in India in a close-knit Gujarati family. I moved to Singapore in 2011, and it has been my home ever since. I am a pawrent to my adorable Irish Cockapoo. I love travelling and identify myself as a citizen of the globe. My stress-busters, besides my dog, are cooking, music, painting, and organizing.

  • My Obsessions

    Organizing - Organizing isn't just a habit; it's my obsession. Everything has its place, and I'll find it. It’s my stress buster and feel-good activity.

    Repurposing - Isn't just a way to reduce waste. I see the potential in everything and love giving items new life, whether its food, clothes, furniture, or boxes.

    Reframing - It’s more than a mental exercise. I find joy in reshaping perspectives and uncovering new possibilities in every situation.

    My people - People I love and care for aren't just individuals in my life. I'm deeply invested in their happiness and success.

    My dog - Is like my human child. His happiness, well-being, and good behaviour is at the center of everything I do.

“Leadership is a life-long journey. We learn something from every experience, challenge, success, and failure. But we are always rushing into the next project, the next role, and the next action. We rarely step back and gather the wisdom and knowledge we have acquired. We also rarely stop and celebrate wins that validate we are on the right path. Coaching is your pause—it is the think space that makes it possible to step back to appreciate, muster your faith and courage, and leap forward with all your might.” — Preeti Kurani
