Deepa Panikkaveetil
Manager to Leader Transition Coach
Fifteen years in the corporate world — leading teams and training professionals in communication, emotional intelligence and the people skills that careers ultimately turn on. Deepa Panikkaveetil saw the same pattern repeatedly: strong individual contributors promoted for technical excellence, handed a team and a title, and given very little preparation for either. She built First Leaders Hub to close that preparation gap with structured, practical support for people in their first leadership role.
