About me

I am Mirza Yawar Baig. Business Founder and Entrepreneur, with over 40 years of experience, working with founders and family business leaders in multiple industries across South Asia, India, the Middle East, & Africa.

Primary challenge for all Entrepreneurs/Promoters/Business Heads: To have someone neutral who they can implicitly trust, a sounding board for ideas and confidential matters that can't be shared with others. Someone who can offer advice on various aspects of management including succession planning, coaching and mentoring.

I am Mirza Yawar Baig – Founder & President of YAWAR BAIG & ASSOCIATES™️, International Speaker, Life Coach, Mentor, Trainer, Author and Facilitator specializing in helping people become leaders in all aspects of life. My book, 'The Business of Family Business' shows how to transform organizations from being 'Person-led to becoming Process-driven'.

My learnings come from working for a decade with one of the largest family businesses in India and helping entrepreneurs, Start-ups, and Family businesses in Africa, Middle East, India, and Sri Lanka for the past 4 decades.

Value Proposition: I offer advice and assistance on:

  1. Business strategy – how to leverage yourself out of the competition.
  2. Strategic transformation – moving from Person-led to Process-driven.
  3. Conflict resolution – using dissent to build trust and strengthen ties.
  4. Develop successors to take your legacy from generation to generation.

This is not merely consulting. It is counsel grounded in trust, confidentiality, and deep understanding of both people and performance. I don't just offer advice; I help you to create your own solutions and support you until final execution and delivery. If you are at this stage of your journey where you are leading yet seeking clarity, and believe that you can benefit from someone who has walked your path and can be a confidential sounding board, who will tell you what you need to hear and not only what you want to hear, then I would be honored to work with you.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
