Deepa Kumar

I have a BS in chemical engineering, and an MS in biotechnology, and 25+ years, working in the exciting biopharmaceutical and software industries! Along that journey, I worked for small and large biopharm companies - first in R&D doing biopharmaceutical process development (fermentation and cell culture), and also in manufacturing doing technology transfer into large scale commercial plants. I got my LSS Master Black Belt certification while working for GSK back in 2010. Not only did I work on process improvements, and business transformation, but I coached leaders - from supervisors up to VP level on how to cut operating costs, and mobilize their teams to increase efficiency. I decided to get my Job Plus Coaching certification, which allowed me to coach GSK colleagues in a more 'life coaching' format, using the ICF code of ethics. After switching jobs to working for a software vendor, OpenText, where I help pharma and medical device companies find solutions to manage their controlled content, I also graduated from Transform Coaching Academy, and I'm currently pursuing my ICF accreditations. I am now also a Transformational Coach, focusing on helping professionals in STEM careers go from feeling stuck to finding freedom. My courses are intended to be accessible to anyone who wants to: - solidify their personal values and set their personal goals. - assess and create intentional balance in key areas of their life - get over limiting beliefs - take inspired action towards their goals In additional personal improvement, I will also be adding courses on continuous improvement tools you can use in any job.
