The word “Golpo” means Story in my native language Bengali. I am a storyteller and my goal is to help you tell and live your best story. Professionally speaking, I am a people focused, results oriented operations expert with 20 years of experience in the private sector (Unilever, Nestlé, Clorox), the United States Government (FBI), and the education sector (Alliance Française/French Institute, Fairfax County Public School System). I’ve led teams and complex initiatives across business operations and national security, and I know firsthand what it takes to deliver results while navigating pressure, ambiguity, and competing priorities.
I have taken all my life experiences, passion, skills, and empathy to found Golpo Coaching, where I work to help you rise stronger. My work sits at the intersection of leadership, resilience, and authenticity: helping individual clients and organizations uncover growth areas, make values-based decisions, and lead in an effective and sustainable way.
Among other credentials, I have an MBA from Harvard Business School and a Coaching Certification from Brown University, and I am a member of the International Coaching Federation (ICF), the world's leading coaching association. These credentials matter, but what matters most to me is creating calm, honest spaces where you can tell the truth, think deeply, and leave each conversation with one or two concrete shifts you’re ready to make.
My life has traversed three continents, and I have had to reinvent myself and thrive in unfamiliar environments repeatedly. That’s why I am passionate about helping you build resilience and find your inner compass. I care about meaningful work, strong relationships, and ongoing self-growth— and you are likely balancing all three. My coaching is customized to support you as a whole person: talented, human, and ready to live your best story!
