Introducing leading London-based Wealth Coach and Founder of Next Gen Wealth, Shivani Pathak. Shivani advocates the transformative quality of her niche specialism, with her wealth coaching practice being one of the first of its kind. Known for her unique blend of academic expertise, financial psychology training and practical experience, Shivani sets out to highlight the hidden dynamics of significant wealth. Next Gen Wealth was founded to specifically target rising wealth holders, offering invaluable guidance and support to navigate the opportunities and challenges that come with wealth.
Shivani has enjoyed fourteen years of experience working in established and fast-growing organisations across the UK, US and India. She kickstarted her corporate career at the Estée Lauder Companies in New York in 2012, spending several years in the beauty industry. After obtaining her MBA at NYU Stern School of Business, she transitioned to working directly with the founders of leading startups, backed by Rocket Internet, Gartner and Battery Ventures, helping them scale their companies in high-profile commercial roles.
Following a decade working in the consumer goods industry, Shivani pivoted her career, moving into a family enterprise setup and devoting time to learning about the psychology of money and financial literacy.
Driven by a deep personal interest in financial well-being and a genuine desire to help others, Shivani obtained multiple certifications in financial coaching before launching Next Gen Wealth. Her practice was founded in support of the next generation of wealth holders, to help them build a healthy paradigm around wealth ownership and stewardship.

The Transformative Nature of Wealth Coaching
“My journey into financial well-being has been rooted in my own experience. Thanks to well-planned financial education at home, I was fortunate to develop healthy financial habits during my childhood and teenage years. However, as I took on more financial responsibility in my early thirties, money started to cloud my personal and professional decision-making.”
“I sought out a money coaching expert to help me confront these emotions and I experienced a profound shift. Through coaching I learned to view money as a tool - something to be mastered in pursuit of my goals, rather than a source of fear or anxiety. As my relationship with money improved, so did my sense of self. The anxiety gave way to confidence, clarity and a deeper understanding of my own capabilities, values and path in life.
The experience unlocked a powerful energy that fuelled my productivity and sense of purpose. It inspired me to launch Next Gen Wealth - a place to explore and transform one’s relationship with money in a safe and judgement-free manner.”
