Executive coaching for founders, CEOs, and senior leaders.
A thinking partner for the people the buck stops with.
Randhir Vieira partners with leaders on the work that matters most — 1:1 executive coaching, leadership-team alignment, and high-stakes strategy. He brings 20+ years of experience building and scaling at companies like Headspace, Omada Health, and Yahoo — and applies it to the hardest decisions you'll make.
Evidence, not motivational platitudes.
Randhir has spent 20+ years at the intersection of behavioral science, product leadership, and high-growth operating. He has built products used by millions, scaled revenue across complex organizations, and led teams through high-stakes pivots at some of tech's most respected companies.
As Chief Product Officer at Omada Health he led product through a period of significant scale across diabetes, hypertension, and weight management. As VP of Product at Headspace, he shaped strategy for one of the world's most recognized wellness platforms, following product leadership at Yahoo. Most recently he was President of Healthify USA. Today he leads Petra Coaching full-time.
His coaching is rooted in evidence and lived experience. He works with leaders to close the gap between where they are and where they need to be — with rigor, honesty, and genuine care. Sherpa, not savior.
Leaders carrying weight others don't see.
The title changes; the pressure rhymes. Randhir coaches across the moments that define a leader's trajectory — at startups and large companies alike.
Founders & CEOs
From first venture round to the lonely seat at scale — the decisions only you can make, thought through with someone who has no agenda but yours.
C-suite & senior executives
Stepping into broader scope, a bigger stage, or a turnaround — building the judgment and presence the new altitude demands.
Functional leaders
Product, engineering, and go-to-market leaders translating deep craft into organizational leadership and cross-functional influence.
Leadership teams
Aligning a team that has to row in the same direction — surfacing the tensions underneath before they cost you.
Clarity is a discipline.
A clear, repeatable method shapes every engagement — grounded, structured, and unmistakably human.
Diagnose
Get the diagnosis right before prescribing. Moving fast in the wrong direction is worse than standing still.
Structure
Frameworks, not feelings. Cut through complexity to reveal the signal — and build a way of thinking you can reuse.
Act
Every session ends with a concrete plan. No abstract insights that evaporate before Monday morning.
Measure
Test your assumptions against hard questions. Track progress and adjust before circumstances force you to.
Sharper decisions. Told the truth.
Sharper decisions under uncertainty
A repeatable way to think through ambiguous, high-stakes calls — and the conviction to make them.
A team that tells you the truth
Break the echo chamber. Build the conditions where candid feedback and dissent actually reach you.
Presence in high-stakes moments
Composure and command in the board meeting, the hard conversation, the all-hands that matters.
Clarity on where you're going
Cut the noise to the few things that move the needle — for the company and for you.

Before we talk.
Who is coaching actually for?
Founders and CEOs, C-suite and senior executives, and the functional leaders rising into bigger scope — at startups and large companies alike. If you're carrying decisions that others can't make for you, you're in the right place.
Do I need to be in a particular industry?
No. The operating experience spans consumer and enterprise companies, but the work — judgment under uncertainty, honest conversations, presence, alignment — is universal to leadership. Clients span industries and stages.
How does an engagement work?
Most engagements pair regular one-to-one sessions with work between them. Cadence, focus, and format are designed around your situation — individual coaching, leadership-team alignment, or a focused strategy intensive.
What's your style?
Structured yet personal. Evidence over platitudes. I'll challenge your thinking before the market does — and end every session with something concrete to act on.
How do we start?
A 30-minute discovery call. No pitch — just a real conversation about what you're building and whether we're a fit to work together.
Let's find out if we're a fit.
