Raghunath Venkatappa, lovingly called Raghu by his peers, a loving husband, proud father of two wonderful children, a lifelong learner of what it means to lead with authenticity, he finds deep purpose in connecting with people on a human level.

Professionally he spent over two decades navigating the dynamic world of technology and transformation leadership, working with global teams to unearth human potential within forward-looking organizations.

He believe real leadership isn’t about control or charisma, it’s about clarity, care, and connection. Outside of work, he is involved actively in environmental and community causes, including beach clean-ups and sustainability initiatives, he believed that leadership goes beyond titles, it’s reflected in how we care for the world around us.

His coaching philosophy is grounded in authenticity, presence, and intentionality. Leadership, to Raghu, is less about position and more about awareness, alignment, and conscious action. This belief led him to create Core Shift a space for meaningful dialogue, courageous reflection, and deep transformation.
