In this episode I speak with Chintal Barot, Founder & Director of CoSustain Consulting, which focuses on climate and gender-smart investing in emerging markets. Chintal has a 15-year consulting career, the past ten spent collaborating with global companies, multilateral institutions and civil society on sustainable economic growth. Her breadth of experience in the financial, agriculture, retail, energy, natural resources and ship recycling sectors across multiple countries reflect her varied insights, experience, and networks. Sharing her time between the UK and India she leads diverse teams to design and successfully deliver complex, global partnerships and programmes in Asia and Africa. Her recent projects have been in Nigeria, Bangladesh, Sierra Leone, and India. We dive into Chintal’s professional and personal journey of finding meaning at work and in life, what it means to be an emotionally intelligent leader and how to nurture our creativity as radiant, whole-hearted humans.
