About Soni Basi
Welcome! I’m Soni Basi, a global CHRO and talent strategist with 25+ years shaping high-performing, inclusive cultures across industries—from luxury and pharma to financial services. I advise Boards and CEOs on executive succession, workforce transformation, AI strategy, and leadership development. If you’re navigating disruption, scaling globally, merging / being acquired or building a future-ready team, I bring bold, data-driven people strategies—and a practical coaching lens—to help you lead with clarity and confidence.
With a Ph.D. in Psychology and a track record of leading global HR functions at iconic companies like The Estée Lauder Companies, AIG, Allergan, Merck and Edelman, I’ve guided organizations through CEO transitions, a range of M&A deals (from $5M to $63B), digital and cultural transformation. I specialize in aligning people strategy with business growth—from architecting executive pipelines to shaping inclusive talent ecosystems (from hiring through to downsizing). I’ve lived in India, England, Canada, and the U.S., and I serve on nonprofit boards focused on equity and youth opportunity. Whether you’re a founder, executive, or emerging leader, I bring strategic insight, global perspective, and a deeply human approach to helping you lead with purpose, resilience, and impact.

Why a 1:1 video consultation?
Whether you're navigating a career transition, refining your leadership style, or tackling a complex business challenge, Soni Basi provides expert guidance tailored to your unique needs.
During your session, you can discuss your goals, share relevant documents or presentations via screen-share, or simply talk through your challenges and take notes. The time is yours to use in the way that benefits you most.
Making informed decisions in your professional journey can be overwhelming and high-stakes. Booking a consultation with a Wisory expert makes the process clearer, more strategic—and even inspiring.
