A practitioner shaped by enterprise reality
Facilitation grounded in leadership, transformation and execution.
Ravi brings more than three decades of experience across banking, technology, transformation and enterprise leadership. Before founding Innovation Spark Asia, he served as a Business Head at RBS/NatWest, leading large teams and complex business and technology portfolios.
Today, he designs and facilitates applied innovation programmes for enterprise and GCC leaders, cross-functional teams, innovation cohorts and transformation functions. The work starts with real business priorities—not classroom simulations—and helps teams move from assumptions to evidence, from ideas to decisions and from workshops to measurable progress.

The role changes with the work.
Some priorities need a focused facilitated workshop. Others need an applied capability journey, coaching between sessions or support as an initiative moves towards leadership decisions. Each engagement is designed around the organisation’s context and intended outcome.
