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. Even though her career was elevating upwards, she had taken a break in order to take care of her ill father. Nevertheless, the firm grit to pursue passion prevailed at last. And she operated as an internal adviser for Thaibev—a large Food and Beverages Conglomerate, for straight two years which acted as a turning point in her entrepreneurial journey.
In 2008, she founded N-able Plus, a niche management consulting firm, specializing in organization & HR transformation, change management, and culture development.

In an interview with Insights Success, Dr. Nithinart shared her insights on women entrepreneur and advised the upcoming generation. Here are some of the highlights:
‘Have confidence in yourself and don’t think that you are a woman. You are just a person with passion and goal to do business that you love and make it successful. Remember that there is other people following you and they will help make your dream comes true. Take them with you with your heart and care. Never say enough to what you know and never compromise with quality. Be positive, be happy, and be proud that you are a woman.’
