Hi! I am Twisha.
I partner with mission-driven organizations and leaders to navigate the AI era with clarity, strategy, and purpose.
As a Behavioral Scientist (PhD) and Fractional C-Suite Executive, I don't just advise on growth; I engineer the systems, culture, and strategies that make it sustainable.
With over 13 years of executive experience—from scaling startups to leading global teams and advising government bodies—I bring a unique dual lens to every engagement: The analytical precision of an Engineer and the human insight of an Organizational Psychologist.
Core Expertise
Fractional Strategy & Operations
I step in as a fractional CSO/COO for companies ready to launch, scale, or transform. I have grown startups to 189 countries, optimized gross margins to 75%, and led teams across 30+ nations.
AI Enabled Organizational Transformation
Recognized as an AI Changemaker (AI Kiran), I help organizations move beyond the hype. I design AI-enabled workflows that amplify human talent rather than replace it.
Executive Coaching & Leadership
I guide high-performing leaders through high-stakes transitions. Whether it's a pivot to a new industry or a return to the C-Suite, I provide the strategic roadmap to build a career with longevity.
Key Accomplishments
Global Scale: Scaled a mental health platform to 189 countries and 140 languages, managing diverse teams across time zones and cultures.
Turnaround Strategy: Stepped in as CEO during a financial crisis, restructured the business model, and achieved $1M+ ARR with 75% gross margins in six months.
Strategic Partnerships: Secured high-value contracts with UC Berkeley, Amazon One Medical, Health Canada, and major non-profits.
AI Innovation: Pioneered Generative AI platforms for evidence-based treatment, optimizing models with proprietary datasets for global accessibility.
My Commitment
To equip organizations and leaders with the strategic clarity to navigate the AI era—transforming uncertainty into a competitive advantage through rigorous operations and human-centered design.
OPERATING PRINCIPLES
Evidence-Based Innovation: We don’t guess; we test. My approach combines behavioral data with the latest AI advancements to solve complex challenges effectively.
Ecosystem Thinking: No business grows in a vacuum. I focus on connecting the dots—building systems, partnerships, and communities that drive sustainable, long-term ROI.
Radical Authenticity: I believe in transparent partnerships. I function as a trusted extension of your leadership team, offering honest feedback and unwavering support.
Impact Over Activity: We prioritize outcomes that matter. Whether it's revenue growth or leadership retention, every strategy is designed to deliver measurable results.
Community & Civic Leadership
I am deeply passionate about social justice and equality, dedicating my time to volunteering and civic engagement to drive meaningful impact. I champion causes that amplify marginalized voices and embrace diverse perspectives, fostering a culture of activism and empathy through community outreach and collaboration.
My strong community network fuels my purpose and energy while allowing me to cross-pollinate insights and leverage my ecosystem to further excel in my work.
My work is deeply informed by my role in civic governance. Serving as a Planning & Transportation Commissioner for San Carlos has taught me the art of stakeholder management, consensus building, and long-term strategic planning.
Civic Leadership: Honorary Planning & Transportation Commissioner, City of San Carlos.
Education & Board Service: Board Member for San Carlos Education Foundation (SCEF) and San Carlos Charter Learning Center.
Advocacy: Domestic Violence Client Advocate at Maitri Bay Area.
Beyond the Boardroom
When I am not strategizing with founders or coaching executives, I am likely analyzing a different kind of rhythm. As a trained Indian Classical Dancer (Kathak) and Tabla player, I believe that discipline and creativity are two sides of the same coin.
You can also find me running half marathons, catching a 5 AM Peloton ride, or managing my son’s soccer team. I am a mom to two incredible boys who remind me daily why building a better future matters.
