Hi, I’m Paras Barot - a strategic advisor, mentor, and investor passionate about helping corporates, individuals and startups unlock their full potential.

With over 20 years of global experience across Financial Services, Consulting, Technology, Insurance and other areas, I’ve had the opportunity to lead global transformation strategies and execution at firms including Goldman Sachs, HSBC, Munich Re, and Marsh McLennan.

My areas of expertise include strategy and planning, program execution, and executive decision-making; helping businesses grow smarter, scale faster, and navigate complexity with confidence.

In addition to my corporate expertise, I work closely with start-up founders and leadership; advising them on corporate strategy, company acceleration to executive leadership coaching, fundraising, and driving scalable growth. I partner with ambitious entrepreneurs to build resilient businesses that can thrive in fast-moving, competitive markets.

As a British-Canadian from London and now based in Dubai, and also with my experience in North America and Asia, I bring a global perspective with deep market and cultural insight.
