Bhavani Jois

Bhavani Jois is a seasoned audit and risk professional with over 25 years of experience who has transformed into an executive and leadership coach for audit and risk professionals and chosen to infuse a deeper understanding of human skills and potential into the traditionally technical field of risk and audit.

She pivoted two years ago from a corporate role to become an executive and leadership.
