Global Expertise. Career Transformation. Your Next Step.
I’m Sarvesh Saxena — a Barrister* (Gray’s Inn, London), Chartered Management Accountant, and Harvard Business School alumnus. My path has not been straightforward. I started with limited opportunities, navigating uncertainty and learning to rely on clear thinking, persistence, and adaptability rather than credentials alone.
Over the years, I’ve delivered transformation programmes exceeding USD 500M for organisations such as Novartis, Serco, and State Street, and worked alongside teams from McKinsey and Deloitte. I also founded Ace Forensic in Switzerland, where I gained first-hand experience in positioning value and winning work in competitive markets.
These are the practical insights I share with graduates and young professionals who want to move ahead with confidence.
I help individuals to:
-
Present themselves effectively in global job markets
-
Strengthen negotiation skills to secure better offers
-
Make informed and confident career decisions
I’ve supported candidates who went on to roles at Mercedes-Benz, Airbus, IBM and State Street — and I aim to offer the same level of support to anyone willing to put in the work.
