Pervin Shaikh's Linkedin Analytics

I am an Executive and Career Coach and obtained International Coaching Federation (ICF) Accredited Certified Coach (ACC) status in April 2013. I thoroughly enjoy working with all levels of management level professionals globally, in gaining clarity, setting career objectives and managing the career transition process. I am also an experienced career transition specialist, career coach, business owner and a former Start-Up co-founder. I thrive in helping my clients align their career values with career progression. I’ve been privileged enough to enjoy excellent success with clients (mainly based in FTSE 100 and Fortune 500 companies, as well as SME business owners). One of my core strengths is cross-cultural understanding. I am very conversant with cross cultural values and cross border working environments in Europe, North America, Middle East, Australia and The Far East, including China. I started my career as a trainee graduate on the Marks and Spencer graduate programme and transitioned into the square mile after graduating with a Masters in Industrial Relations from Warwick Business School, Warwick University. I briefly undertook a HR Research Associate role for USA headquartered Corporate Leadership Council (CLC), in London and then moved into the City. I worked as a Research professional within Corporate Finance environments at Merrill Lynch (Bank of America Merrill Lynch), Lehman Brothers (Nomura), Bear Stearns and shorter contract roles as a Senior Researcher for KPMG and Boston Consulting Group (BCG). My portfolio of clients both U.K. and internationally, gives me an extensive and excellent insight into the challenges and opportunities faced by businesses. I also have experience in bootstrapping a start-up from conception to execution stage and advising entrepreneurs start their own businesses. My experience as an Executive and career coach positions me well in working with mid-management and senior level management during the career management process. I co-authored my first book entitled The Shift with two smart professionals. We met in a Business Book Club on Clubhouse during lockdown, and continued to discuss business and work. Over time, those ideas became the foundation for our book. Specialties: Executive Coaching and Career Coaching, Start-up, Entrepreneur Coaching.
