About Vaish

I am a first-generation immigrant who moved to the United States for business school. I have always focused on being curious, ambitious and opening myself up to diverse experiences. I believe in the power of relationships, the importance of putting in the work and partner best with people who dream about a different future. I am a macro-optimist and a micro-pessimist, because it helps me constantly challenge myself to be better in the service of a better tomorrow. I love variety and diversity, and have spent the last 12+ years noodling around on all things tech. I know what it means to work with cross-functional partners, inspire people around a mission and get stuff done. I wear the hat of a business generalist and understand corporate strategy, product management and GTM functions. I am convinced we are still in early stages of software eating the world, and I cannot wait for a Jetsons-like future :)

Why do I coach?

I coach because I have been the beneficiary of mentorship and coaching in the past. I believe mentors are crucial to one's personal development as they help you see things from a different perspective and coach you to overcome mindsets that might be limiting your own growth. I had a mentor once who told me that "serendipity is the key to growth" - I took calls from strangers and landed on opportunities; I have connected with folks on LinkedIn that have led to positive collaborations and I have volunteered on projects outside of my day job to get exposure to broader networks. I am incredibly grateful to that individual, especially since the advice has helped me reinvent myself consistently and build out a broad network. I want to bring that sense of candor, thoughtfulness and kindness to as many folks as I can, while continuing to learn from the mentees as well. Honestly, it's a two-way process and I will get as much value and satisfaction as you through this process :)
