One-on-one executive coaching for ambitious professionals within consulting, advisory, risk, and related disciplines — coached by a technologist-turned-Partner with 20+ years at Accenture, Deloitte, and KPMG. Whether you are a Senior Consultant aiming for Manager, or a Senior Manager on the Partner track, this coaching is built for you.

"I've walked every step of this path. I know exactly what it takes — and what holds people back."
— Yousaf MirAt his core, Yousaf is a technologist. His career began in technology consulting and that foundation has shaped everything that followed — from how he approaches client problems to how he builds and leads teams. Over 20+ years, that technology grounding has extended into broader advisory, financial services, and business transformation work across some of the world's largest professional services firms.
He joined Accenture as a Senior Consultant and spent 14 years progressing to Managing Director, holding senior account leadership roles across major global clients. At Deloitte, he joined as a Partner leading Financial Services for Enterprise Technology and Performance — a role that took him across both Australia and the Middle East — where he built the ServiceNow practice from near-zero into a highly successful business. He is now a Partner at KPMG Middle East, leading Financial Services Advisory.
Across all three firms, Yousaf has been a builder — of businesses, of teams, and of careers. He holds a BSc (Hons) in Chemistry from the University of Birmingham and an MSc in Telecommunications Technology from Aston University. He now coaches ambitious professionals within consulting, advisory, risk, and related disciplines — at every stage of the career ladder, from Senior Consultant through to Partner.
Yousaf has navigated every stage of the Big 4 career ladder — from Senior Consultant through to Managing Director and Partner. He has led senior accounts, built businesses from near-zero, and grown teams across multiple continents. That lived experience is what makes his coaching uniquely credible.

Together we build a concrete, time-bound plan for your next promotion — covering the performance, leadership, and relationship milestones you need to hit, in your specific firm context.
