Pinki Srivastava

Executive-in-Residence

Pinki Srivastava is a successful executive with an entrepreneurial spirit. She has created shared vision and attained goals while stewarding resources for many for-profit and non-profit organizations. She is able to foster relationships and collaborate with constituents from a wide variety of diverse backgrounds.

As an experienced educator, Pinki has designed and developed experiential learning courses and project-based learning. She has a deep appreciation and respect for what goes on in the classroom. To design coursework and workshops, she draws on many disciplines. For example, she created an immersive business program to lead a student group for four weeks to India. Students met with many notable leaders at global and domestic organizations. Students learned not only what had made these leaders and organizations successful but also how to adapt international ideas to local contexts. Most importantly, students began to understand the kinds of cultural sensitivities that enable effective work across national and cultural contexts. This type of integrated, international perspective is vital to future business leaders in a fast-changing and increasingly globalized world.
