Preetum integrates practices and experience from her diverse background gleaned from being an eternal student of the world, inspired by deep wisdom from Mother Nature, her dedicated practice of Vipassana (Insight Meditation), the fields of integral psychology and somatic experiencing, and her over 15+ years of project management and team leadership experience in startups, agencies, corporations and consulting firms. 

 

She has an MBA with emphases in Corporate Strategy, Marketing and Sustainable Enterprise from the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan, and is certified as a Professional Mindfulness Facilitator through the MTI (Mindfulness Training Institute) and as a Certified Mindfulness Teacher-Professional (CMT-P) through the Awareness Training Institute in partnership with the Greater Good Science Center at UC Berkeley, and the IMTA (International Mindfulness Teachers Association), authorized to teach by Jack Kornfield, Tara Brach, Mark Coleman and Martin Aylward. 

 

As a Sustainable Business & Marketing Strategist, Preetum has worked with major healthcare and consumer goods companies to encourage consumer adoption of healthier lifestyles, and shift business practices and stakeholder behavior to mobilize greater environmental and social stewardship. Inspired by her long-standing meditation practice and her own chronic illness journey, she’s now especially passionate about catalyzing change on the more micro level of personal sustainability and resilience, believing that when individuals feel more calm, composed, confident and compassionate, we can deepen our capacity to heal ourselves and the world around us, enabling a more vibrant, sustainable future for all.
