About

Ushma helps organizations define their strategic priorities and set up the resources and systems to achieve their goals drawing on her 15+ years in global corporations and her advisory work across public, private and non profit sectors. Her career spans multiple functions and industries because of her natural curiosity in how organizations work. Ushma believes that strategy, organizational design and people strategy all need to work together to enable companies to achieve their vision. She works with companies on issues that intersect these three areas.
In addition, Ushma has an interest in zero waste issues and is active in the Zero Waste community in NYC. She is an active member of the Manhattan Solid Waste Advisory Board. She also works with businesses on reducing their waste and brings her behavior change experience to the problem.
She lives in NYC with her husband and two small kids who she is training to become aware of their environmental impact. She sits on the board of the NYLCV.
