Twisha Anand: Strategist, Coach, and Builder
The Intersection of Business Rigor and Behavioral Science.
Helping founders and leaders navigate scaling bottlenecks, reclaim their alignment, and build high-impact trajectories.
Engineering systems. Understanding human behavior. Scaling impact.
I have spent the last 13 years at the cross-section of strategy, operations, and human dynamics. My journey began with an Engineering background, which instilled in me a love for structure, optimization, and analytical precision. But I quickly realized that the most complex systems in any business aren't the technical ones—they are the human ones.
To understand what truly drives high-performing teams, I earned a PhD in Organizational Behavior from IIM Ahmedabad.
Since then, I have operated as a startup builder, transition CEO, and global growth leader. I have scaled VC-backed startups, steered companies through critical financial turnarounds, and designed systems that optimize human potential across 30+ nations.
Today, my work centers on Executive Coaching (Elevate Align) as my premier offering, alongside Strategic Consulting (Elevate Build). I partner deeply with founders, leaders, and executives to help them navigate transition friction, build unshakeable alignment, and engineer operational ecosystems built to last in an increasingly complex, AI-informed landscape.
Real-World Experience. Global Scale
Global Team Scaling & Leadership Development
Built, scaled, and coached the operational and leadership workforce for the world's first online peer-support platform (7 Cups). Expanded operations to 189 countries and 140 languages by designing high-performing, culturally diverse organizational structures and coaching leadership teams across 30+ nations.
C-Suite Turnaround & Organizational Alignment
Stepped in as CEO of an organization facing severe operational and financial crises. Realigned and coached the existing leadership team, designed a sustainable high-performance culture, achieved 75% gross margins, and scaled revenue to $1M+ ARR within just six months.
Strategic Ecosystems & High-Value Alliances
Coached and guided cross-functional teams to negotiate, secure, and execute high-impact expansion contracts with global giants including UC Berkeley, Amazon One Medical, and Health Canada—driving international scale with a zero-dollar traditional marketing budget.
Multidimensional Perspectives for Complex Problems
I believe that the best leaders are those who bring rich, diverse perspectives to the table. Beyond my strategic and coaching advisory, I am deeply committed to civic engagement and the arts.
Civic Leadership: I serve my local community as an appointed Planning Commissioner, helping shape sustainable growth, policy, and urban development.
Nonprofit Board Member & Volunteer: I actively advocate for social causes, volunteering my time and strategic expertise to organizations focused on education and domestic violence support.
Classical Artist: I am a trained performer in Indian classical dance and music. The rigorous discipline, rhythm, and storytelling of classical performance influence how I approach creative problem-solving and structured execution in business.
