“I am a self-confessed nefelibata - a nyctophile, and nirvana-seeker. I am a dreamer who does.

I am most fulfilled when I help illuminate or contribute to palpable growth and transformation, where new ideas and beginnings are made possible for generative and positive human experiences. I find my own sense of purpose and self-growth re-affirmed when I am a light to someone’s life fire or to a breakthrough new business concept. That is why I do what I do.” Suguna Madhavan

Suguna is fuelled by her innate passion for constant learning and self-growth. She thrives on the joy of being a catalyst of change and transformation.

Her leadership experience in innovative start-ups include being a global founding management team member of two innovative technology start-ups with breakthrough consumer concepts - Vertu, the world’s first luxury communications device, and Steinway Lyngdorf, the innovative manufacturer of the world's first fully-digital hi-end sound systems.

As Founder/Director of Firesong Initiatives, a specialised business management and brand consultancy founded in 2005, she collaborates symbiotically with partners to develop innovative concepts/products and create disruptive new markets.

A Transformative Leadership Mentor-Coach (CPC, ELI-Master Practitioner, IPEC) to successful C-suite leaders and entrepreneurs globally, her expertise is in the space of transformative growth and leadership.
