Hi All ! I'm Asra. After my 15+ year successful career in Corporate and Investment Banking, I have turned my passion for driving growth and nurturing talent into Rise & Lead, my leadership coaching and mentoring company.

Throughout my executive career, I am proud of having driven the growth and development of businesses from early stage through to mature levels by building strong teams of top tier talents; I am grateful for my strong track record across worldwide institutions in closing deals, setting up dynamic best business practices and creating significant value for clients, teams and management. 
My career highlights include multiplying revenues significantly as well growing a client franchise across EMEA. I was also proud to be instrumental in the achievement of several industry awards, including “Most Innovative Equity Derivatives House” by the Banker for two consecutive years.

Wanting to follow through my vision for myself, I transitioned into Executive Leadership coaching and mentoring, to support others in their growth journey. 

At Rise & Lead, I support leaders and high performers worldwide in their journey towards purposeful change. I create real and authentic connections with my clients and partner with them in a thought provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential. 

Today, I work with an array of profiles from rising stars to board members. 
My clients come to see me because I fast track their growth by blending empathy and candour in a graceful way. 

I believe that out of discomfort comes learning and transformation. 

Together, we will challenge boundaries!
