About Tanmay Vora
Strategic clarity and leadership capability is the catalyst for execution. As a Visual Leadership Facilitator, I leverage visual thinking strategies to help organizations navigate complex change and build confident leaders.
I bring 25+ years of executive experience to bridge gap between high-level strategy and ground-level execution. I combine lived leadership wisdom with visual thinking to solve three biggest drains on ROI: ambiguity, poor leadership, and misalignment.
In my corporate span, I have led large teams in executive roles, built high-performing teams, led world-class product teams, developed leaders, consulted global customers, enabled operational excellence, and created high-performance cultures.
