I'm Priya Thanki, an experienced leader ready to help you to achieve your goals, objectives and highest potential through coaching. I've spent over 15 years leading global technology and engineering teams, driving transformation and helping companies navigate change. More recently, I've been at the forefront of AI adoption, helping leaders and teams adapt to one of the biggest shifts we've seen in how we work and create value. I hold an AI Strategy and Leadership distinction from the London School of Economics, and I bring that perspective into both my leadership work and my coaching.

From VP of Engineering at Monster Worldwide, leading a global function of over 175 employees, to SVP of Product Engineering at SHL, where I led teams of 230 across through a full AI transformation, I've consistently operated at the intersection of complexity and growth. I've held P&L responsibility of programs over $60M, and led organizations spanning Europe, Asia, and North America. Along the way, I've navigated promotions, career pivots, and leadership challenges where confidence wobbles and you're figuring out what comes next. Those experiences taught me that success isn't just about skills and experience. Confidence, self-awareness, and having the right support around you matters just as much.

I'm supportive, approachable, and direct. I listen, ask thoughtful questions, and challenge when it's needed, helping you gain clarity, confidence, and take action. I work with leaders at every stage, whether you're stepping into a new role, navigating a significant transition, or figuring out what AI means for your career and your team. My goal is to help my clients build careers and lives that feel both successful and meaningful.

Clients leave our work together with clearer thinking, increased confidence, and empowered with a stronger sense of what they want to build next.

Outside of work, I love spending time with my partner, family and friends. I'm an outdoors person and I love exploring London where I live enjoying art exhibitions, restaurants and river walks. I enjoy yoga, travelling and hiking, and I've done some exciting adventures to Peru, Nepal as well as climbing Mt Kilimanjaro in Tanzania.
