Papa CJ is best-known as a stand-up comedian and an executive coach for senior corporate and high net worth audiences. His superpowers include customising content and interacting with an audience. He is a safe and bulletproof pair of hands for important events, whether public, private, or corporate. He can work with family-friendly material if required and cater to English-speaking audiences of any age group and nationality, online or offline.
He can not only host, moderate, and interview at events but also conduct motivational speaking or corporate training sessions. He holds an MBA degree from Oxford University, and as an Executive Coach, he has worked with over 50 blue-chip companies across the globe. He has been invited to speak at Harvard Business School and has written for Harvard Business Review.
Papa CJ tailors corporate training programmes to befit distinct goals & challenges. In the past, these have included sessions on creativity, the art of persuasion, and building a personal brand. He has also worked with organisations as an executive coach and even a corporate consultant to help them design communication campaigns to bring about cultural change.
Papa CJ has three signature coaching sessions and one unique programme to uplift the spirits at any workplace:

- The Chief Caffeine Officer Programme
He has been an executive coach for 14 years, a stand-up comedian for 17, and a friend for way longer than that. He has worked across various cultures and all age groups in over 25 countries around the world. He has played the role of a recruiter, a management consultant, a marketeer, an ideator, a content strategist, a comedian motivational speaker, a leadership trainer, and an executive coach.
As your Chief Caffeine Officer, Papa CJ is the guy your people can call for coffee, conversation, and a boost. Especially for senior management, who have even fewer people to whom they can talk comfortably and openly. Honest conversations with multiple people across the organisation also allow him to spot patterns and highlight systemic or firm-wide issues and concerns to the management. His clients benefit from the additional lenses he can offer them as a performing artist and entrepreneur. He also helps people arrive at innovative, creative, and implementable solutions by viewing their personal, professional, and organisational worlds differently.
