A little more about Sathya:

I am an energetic data leader, business owner, community builder and professional speaker fuelled by my commitment for diversity, equity and inclusion.

I embrace the uniqueness of my personal and professional experience, being a Sri Lankan Tamil woman, born in Singapore who grew up in Sydney and moved to London as a young adult. My lived experience as a women of colour has been a driving force in creating my business to push forward diversity, equity and inclusion for all.

I have navigated the corporate world in Retail, Luxury, Professional Services and Banking to be a role model for anyone who does not see themselves in positions of influence at work and in society.

I use my leadership platform and deep relationships across industries to bridge the data and DEI worlds as I believe together we can make more sustainable progress towards equity. My purpose is to speed up representation and positive social change for all those othered, in particular amplifying women of colour and intersectional identities.

Beyond my day job, I believe in the power of community work, being the proud founder of My Skin My Story.  This is a real passion project which allows me to uplift a specific group I relate to that is often not given the spotlight.  In this growing global movement, women of colour connect, empower and elevate each other through the magic of story telling.

Ultimately, I want to build a meaningful legacy that contributes to a more equitable and thriving society across businesses, charities and the arts for all.
