Kreena Dhiman

Kreena Dhiman is a change and adversity strategist who specialises in building resilience, inclusive leadership and emotional intelligence in organisations navigating profound uncertainty. Having rebuilt her life through breast cancer, severe chemotherapy-induced heart failure, infertility and a complex surrogacy journey to motherhood, she advises global health bodies including the International and European Societies of Cardiology, serves as Ambassador for Estée Lauder Companies' Breast Cancer Campaign, and co-founded South Asian Supernovas to increase representation and support for underserved communities. Her sessions equip leaders and teams with the mindset and tools to navigate disruption with courage, foster psychological safety, and lead authentically through change, transforming vulnerability into strategic strength and adversity into purposeful action.

After navigating breast cancer, severe chemotherapy-induced heart failure, infertility and medically induced menopause, Kreena Dhiman rebuilt her life through discipline, courage and strategic choice. She then pursued an extraordinarily complex path to motherhood through IVF, donor conception and surrogacy, becoming a mother to triplets plus one. These profound experiences of adversity and transformation shaped her into a change and adversity strategist who now helps organisations develop the mindset, emotional intelligence and cultural resilience needed to lead through uncertainty with clarity and compassion. Her work sits at the intersection of human resilience, inclusive leadership and organisational transformation, empowering leaders and teams to face disruption not with fear, but with purposeful action.

Kreena's credibility is rooted in both lived experience and strategic impact. She serves as Ambassador for Estée Lauder Companies' Breast Cancer Campaign and advises global health bodies including the International and European Societies of Cardiology. In February 2023, she co-founded South Asian Supernovas to address the lack of representation and support for South Asian communities affected by breast cancer, curating the first fully clothed, culturally appropriate breast cancer awareness media campaign and creating multilingual self-check resources. As co-founder of Proskope, she is driving innovation in oncology diagnostics to ensure early cancer detection is accessible to all. She has also founded initiatives supporting families navigating surrogacy, creating the UK's first British Podcast Award-winning surrogacy podcast and pioneering e-learning tools for prospective parents. Her work has been featured by BBC, ITV, The Telegraph, Stylist and Hello Magazine, and she has delivered on major platforms including ASCO, the Houses of Parliament, 10 Downing Street and corporate stages across the UK and Europe. She has partnered with FTSE 100 companies and organisations across healthcare, pharmaceuticals and financial services committed to wellbeing and cultural transformation, and is involved in the TEAMCARE European healthcare project promoting integrated care and workforce development.

Kreena helps organisations build cultures that are courageous, adaptable and human-centred. Through her sessions, audiences learn that resilience is not about stoicism or heroics, but about the willingness to fall apart, rebuild and rise again. She equips leaders with practical tools to navigate disruption, foster psychological safety and lead with authenticity in times of uncertainty. Her approach demonstrates that vulnerability is a leadership strength, that acceptance is a strategic asset, and that sustained resilience is built through long-term shifts in mindset and behaviour rooted in courage and discipline. A proud South Asian woman, Kreena uses her platform to challenge outdated norms, expand representation and empower others to lead with compassion and integrity. Her work creates lasting impact by showing that meaningful change begins with how we choose to meet the hardest moments of our lives, and that true leadership is built on the courage to be vulnerable, purposeful and deeply human.
