Parm K Hari - Member Profile

Parm Hari is a global C-suite executive and founder with 25+ years leading strategy, transformation, people, and post-merger value creation across highly regulated and cross-border environments. She operates at enterprise scale, designing and delivering winning strategies and leading integration and transformation value offices at critical inflection points, while building functions from the ground up, partnering with internal and external teams, and leading lean and large multi-disciplinary teams to measurable outcomes.

As Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Syntari Group, Parm brings partner-level, operator-grade execution to the moments that matter—post-merger integrations and carve-outs, scale-ups, market entries, turnarounds and reductions, leadership resets, and platform migrations. The focus is simple: value planned becomes value realized and sustained. She is an expert at building practical governance, establishing a clear delivery cadence, and transferring capability so results endure after handover.
Based in Dubai and Canada and a Canadian citizen, Parm operates globally.

She is also the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Syntari Councils—private, invitation-only advisory boards for legacy creators: chief executives, senior leaders, entrepreneurs, and future leaders from non-competing industries. Built for today’s pace and ambiguity, Councils give leaders a place to step out of pressure, surface the real questions, challenge assumptions, and refine judgment in absolute confidence. Anchored in peer boards and selectively enhanced with executive coaching and targeted learning, Syntari strengthens organizations while transforming individual leadership, with intentional seats for women founders and rising women leaders.

How she engages: full fixed-term and temporary assignments, fractional C-suite roles such as chief operating officer, chief transformation officer, or chief human resources officer, interim chief executive officer, and embedded operator models—partnering with organizations to stand up the office, run the drumbeat, and hand the system back.
Industry-agnostic, with multi-industry depth across Financial Services; Fintech, Proptech and Digital Assets; Real Estate; Ports, Terminals, Infrastructure and Logistics; Healthcare and Pharmaceuticals; Beauty, Wellness and Personal Care; Education; Consumer Packaged Goods.
