For a world marked by increasing volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity, we don’t just need business leaders. We need leaders for business and society. I’m inspired to transform our leadership paradigms and help shape a better world.
Before joining Egon Zehnder, most recently Shriya worked as a Senior Strategy Consultant at Keystone Strategy in San Francisco, helping Fortune 50 companies tackle challenges at the intersection of business, technology, and economics.
