Poornima Peri
Your audience will walk away equipped with practical, proven strategies for resilience, confidence, and leadership. Drawing from her 20+ years in IT and federal government, plus her global success as a wellness entrepreneur, Poornima makes personal growth tangible, relatable, and transformational.
Poornima Peri is a keynote speaker, author, and leader who embodies resilience, inclusivity, and transformation. With over two decades of experience in IT and leadership within the Australian Government, she has risen from humble beginnings in India to become a globally recognized voice in both corporate leadership and women’s wellness.

Today, she empowers organizations, leaders, and individuals to transform self-doubt into self-leadership, and to align inner strength with outer success.
