Swati Randev
How This Works
Most advice doesn't stick. Another framework, another strategy, another opinion - you've already got plenty of those.
What actually moves people is space: room to slow down, say the real thing out loud, and see it clearly, maybe for the first time.
That's what I create - whether I'm coaching a senior leader one-to-one, working with a team, mentoring emerging talent, or standing in front of a room of hundreds.
I'm not there to hand you answers. I'm there to ask the question you've been avoiding, push back on thinking you've stopped questioning, and help you find the clarity that was already yours.
The Short Version
I'm an Executive & Mindset Coach and Sustainability & ESG Leader based in Dubai, with 18+ years of corporate experience - including senior roles at Novo Nordisk APAC and PwC Middle East. Today I work as a strategic advisor, coach and facilitator, helping leaders, teams and organisations cut through complexity and get to what actually matters.
My approach is rooted in the philosophy of 'Space to Think' - creating room for strategic conversations to unfold without distraction. As a certified Executive & Mindset Coach, I invite leaders and teams into real, thoughtful dialogue about what's actually in front of them, so every decision is made with clarity, not just urgency.
That same instinct shaped my sustainability and ESG work - over a decade advising organisations across the Gulf and APAC on strategy built to hold up under scrutiny, recognised in 2026 among Gulf Intelligence's Top 100 Middle East Sustainability Voices.

What Clients Say
“
My session with Swati was truly eye-opening. She helped me uncover a realization that was already within me—but buried so deep I couldn’t access it on my own. What stood out most was how simply and gently she guided the conversation. Nothing felt overwhelming or forced; instead, it felt natural, safe, and incredibly clarifying.
She has a way of holding space that makes you feel truly heard. In moments where I questioned myself, she validated my thoughts and emotions in a way that reassured me I wasn’t alone—and that what I was feeling was completely valid.
If you’re in a phase of transition, feeling stuck, or just need perspective, she is exactly the kind of person you want to speak to.
Thanks Swati 💕

I was quite confused with a critical decision in my life when I approached Swati.
She lead me through a series of questions and scenarios and I cleared my confusion.
It was such a smooth guidance and I was so peaceful after the session.
Thanks for being such a good mentor...you cleared months of confusion in one hour.

I’ve known Swati for a few years; and I was thrilled that she was pursuing coaching and offered me a session.
From the beginning, she created a space that felt safe, which helped me feel at ease discussing deeply personal issues. We started with a request on ‘career development’; but Swati skilfully guided the conversion towards its true core – my sense of self-worth. It was also exceptional that our paths were similar in so many ways; especially in the type of upbringing we had and our sense of loss of a parental figure.
Throughout the session, she came across as empathetic, attentive, and non-judgmental. She listened carefully, asked the right questions, and made me feel genuinely heard and understood. The session also felt constructive yet not rushed; and I left feeling lighter.
Based on my experience, I believe Swati demonstrates strong interpersonal and professional qualities that would make her a compassionate and effective coach. I would feel comfortable recommending her to others seeking support.
