About Surbhi Jain

I partner with leaders during moments of growth, transition, and organizational change — when decisions are complex and clarity is hard to find. Over the last 13+ years, I’ve worked across Microsoft, Nestlé, PepsiCo, Aon and EY, supporting leaders on people strategy, organization design, rewards, and large‑scale change. These experiences were shaped by driving outcomes in ambiguity, pressure, and constant transformation. In my current role as People Planning & Change Manager at Microsoft, I work on organization effectiveness and change initiatives spanning employees across 100+ countries. What this work has reinforced for me is simple: Most leadership challenges are not about capability — they’re about clarity, identity, and mindset. This is my Coaching mantra as I work with leaders, managers, and emerging executives who are navigating complexity, stepping into bigger roles, or feeling stretched between performance and empathy. I practice brain‑based and evidence‑led coaching with a strong grounding in real organizational contexts. I focus on sustainable growth rather than quick fixes. I’m particularly drawn to working with leaders who are driving significant change or transition, feel the weight of influence without always having space to pause and want to lead with more intention, presence, and confidence. If you’re a leader or HR professional looking to navigate complexity with more clarity, strengthening your leadership presence or creating space to think, reflect, and decide well, feel free to DM me — I’m always open to thoughtful conversations.
