Bio

Nina Godiwalla is a recognized expert on leadership, diversity, and women in the business world. She is the bestselling author of “Suits: A Woman on Wall Street,” which The New York Times describes as ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ of investment banking. The book is an insider’s perspective on her experience at Morgan Stanley from an outsider’s point of view—woman, second-generation Indian American and Texan. USA Today chose “Suits” as a top pick, and FORTUNE Magazine calls it a “must read.”

Godiwalla is also the CEO of MindWorks, which provides leadership, stress management, and diversity training to companies. In addition to running MindWorks, she is an industry leader for The Wall Street Journal Executive Task Force for Women in the Economy, leadership instructor for The University of Texas MBA Program, and writer for Wharton Magazine.

Godiwalla has been a keynote speaker at a variety of venues including The World Affairs Council, The Smithsonian Institution, Harvard, and TED Conference. Before becoming an internationally sought-after speaker, Godiwalla spent almost a decade working for Fortune 500 corporations. She is often featured in major media including USA Today, Forbes Magazine, Elle Magazine, ABC News, CNN, and NBC.

She has a M.B.A. from Wharton, a master’s from Dartmouth and a B.B.A. from The University of Texas.
