About Homy Dayani-Fard
I've spent 25 years helping leaders drive results—from global corporates to owner-led businesses—across strategy, operations, and leadership.
In the early chapters of my career, I worked with large organisations, including EY, Booz Allen Hamilton, and IBM leading complex strategy and transformation projects. But along the way, I discovered something important: the clients who resonated most with me weren't the biggest. They were the ones who owned the business—or treated their division like they did.
They cared deeply. They took things personally. And they appreciated advice that was practical, not performative.
That's when I shifted. I started focusing on small and mid-sized businesses—where the stakes are real, the decisions are personal, and the impact is immediate.
Today, I work exclusively with business owners. Not their sales team. Not their leadership bench. Them.
Background
I've worn many hats—engineer, researcher, university professor, strategist, interim exec, and coach. I've worked across North America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia.
Along the way, I trained as a certified coach (ICF PCC), with additional qualifications in personal, business, and team coaching. I've also spent 15 years as a career coach at Oxford's Saïd Business School, supporting leaders, founders, and graduate students navigating growth and transition.
I write regularly on Medium—personal reflections on leadership, life transitions, and the deeper questions behind work and purpose
Academically: PhD & MSc in Computer Science (Queen's University, Canada), MBA (Oxford University), BSc in Computer Science, Math & Philosophy (University of Toronto).
What I'm Most Proud Of
Having helped business owners build companies they can step away from—not out of burnout or pressure, but because they've created something strong, valuable, and enduring.
A business that serves your life, not the other way around.
