I have worked with Asra in my first job in investment banking in London, she was my manager and a true mentor who helped me fully develop in my role. Her excellent coaching as a manager helped me grow further in my career. She has all the qualities of a modern leader: she is inspiring, compassionate, solution driven and provides extremely valuable honest feedbacks. For me it was a fantastic chance to be able to learn from her at such an early stage in my career. She had a lot of impact on my personal growth, I truly recommend her as a Senior Executive or Leadership Coach.”
