Founder
Narayan Thammiah
With over 30 years of experience as a leader in People Practices and a certified business coach, I help organizations and individuals develop the capabilities that drive business success. As a Strategic Advisor and Executive Coach, I specialize in aligning culture with strategy, organization design, and talent management, working closely with founders and leadership teams to foster growth and performance.
Previously a Venture Partner at Accel, I provided strategic guidance on human capital across portfolio companies. My approach is inspired by lessons from mountaineering and ultra-marathons, emphasizing adaptability, goal clarity, and the unique potential of each individual.
By fostering a judgment-free, supportive environment, I empower founders and executives to navigate challenges, make insightful decisions, and unlock their full potential.

Partner
With over a decade of experience collaborating with top talent across financial services and insurance sectors, I've gained deep insights into the challenges of organic growth, customer acquisition, and scaling businesses.
I now focus on partnering with early-to-mid-stage companies across industries like CPaaS, EdTech, AI Recruitment, eB2B SaaS, InsureTech, Corporate Wellness, and EV, working closely with founders to craft market-ready strategies for growth and funding.
Outside of work, I'm a passionate foodie, culture enthusiast, and traveler, channeling my love for storytelling into chronicling my culinary and cultural adventures.
