Mahesh M. Thakur specializes in helping leaders at the L7, M2, and D1 levels at companies like Meta, Amazon, and Uber navigate the complexities of leadership, execution, and career growth. At these levels, leaders are expected to drive cross-functional impact, influence without authority, and deliver results in high-stakes environments—all while managing intense competition for top performance ratings.

Mahesh has helped leaders facing challenges such as navigating reorgs, managing up effectively, influencing executive stakeholders, and balancing execution with long-term strategy. His coaching has enabled them to shift from “Meets Expectations” to “Exceeds” or “Strongly Exceeds” ratings in companies where performance is rigorously assessed. At Meta, where ratings range from “Meets Most” to “Exceeds Most” and “Redefines”, Mahesh has helped senior leaders move into the top categories by strengthening their strategic thinking, stakeholder management, and leadership presence. At Amazon, where ratings include “L5 – Solid”, “L6 – Top Tier”, and “L7 – Truly Outstanding”, he has guided leaders to position themselves for promotion by mastering the art of high-impact decision-making and scaling their influence.

Through personalized coaching, Mahesh ensures that ambitious leaders don’t just survive in these high-pressure roles—they thrive. His approach focuses on agility, influence, and AI-powered leadership strategies, enabling clients to outperform expectations, accelerate their careers, and gain the recognition they deserve.
