Ishara Saldin. High-stakes decisions, made to hold.

Ishara has spent twenty five years earning hers – as a corporate executive within large corporates, listed companies, multinationals and investor groups; as a board member and Non-Executive Director; and as an entrepreneur, building ventures from the ground up.

That has been tested across twenty-one countries and among the world’s most demanding regulatory environments, delivering complex, cross-border outcomes on time and on budget. She has worked through the 2008 financial crisis, a global pandemic, the threat of war, and periods of geopolitical conflict most careers never encounter.

That is the difference between studying high-stakes decision-making and having lived through it – and it shapes everything Ishara takes on, from the risk surrounding a decision to the way a transaction itself is put together, structured, and made to hold under pressure.

Ishara is recognised internationally as a speaker and thought leader in the leadership space, her work formally recognised with industry awards, and she has been featured on the cover of several global magazines.
