Meet the founder

I’m Ritesh Modi, founder of Leadership Reconsidered and an executive and leadership coach. For more than 15 years, I’ve worked across engineering, technology and organisational leadership — solving complex problems, influencing decisions, building teams and supporting people as their responsibilities evolve.

My experience includes engineering leadership roles at Wise, Meta and Omio. I’ve seen first-hand that leadership is rarely just about expertise or having the right answers. It often depends on how we understand ourselves, navigate relationships, work through uncertainty and create the conditions for others to succeed.

Why Leadership Reconsidered?

Throughout my career, I’ve been drawn to the human side of leadership.

Why do capable people become overwhelmed? Why do familiar approaches stop working as their roles expand? Why can a promising idea struggle to gain support? And what happens when the expertise that built someone’s success becomes difficult to let go of?

These questions sit at the heart of my coaching. I believe meaningful leadership development begins with awareness of our values, assumptions, emotions, behaviours and impact on others. When we see these patterns more clearly, we create the opportunity to reconsider what is possible.

How I work

My role isn’t to provide ready-made answers. I create a confidential and challenging space where you can explore how you’re thinking, examine other perspectives and discover your own way forward.

I combine formal coaching education with practical experience of organisational complexity and leadership in technology environments. I have completed the ICF-accredited Level 2 programme in business and personal coaching at Barefoot Coaching. This describes my training, not an individual ICF PCC credential.

Although I have particular experience with senior technical and people leaders, Leadership Reconsidered is for leaders across industries who want to reflect, grow and lead with greater clarity and intention.
