A Fervent Leader
Nithinart stepped into her career in a PR agency at Burson-Marstellar in New York after completing her first masters. Her role, in a responsible campaign of the first launch of Acuvue—first disposable contact lens, aided her to learn a lot on answering the controversial questions and conveying constructive messages in challenging circumstances. After completing her PhD, Nithinart entered into establishing a long-term career with Accenture, which played a major part in her development, professionally as well as personally.
Prior leaving Accenture, she was a Partner overlooking Organizational Transformation and Change Management Strategy Offering for Asia and Pacific.
