About
Hi, I’m Sri. Actually, my full name is Srirupa but most people call me Sri these days.
My areas of expertise include Leadership development and communication; online marketing, integrating multimedia and social media; managing large, complex, high profile projects; user-centric Web content design and presentation; customer relationship management; and cooking delicious food!
I am interested in integrating the spiritual and the professional; raising a multicultural, multifaith and multilingual family; investing in education, health and self-reliance for women and girls; building a supportive community; and becoming a better gardener.
My background: I have been educated as computer scientist and artist, and certified as an Integral Coach. I have more than 15 years of experience as a senior manager within the corporate sector and higher-ed combined, and 7 years of experience as a small business owner. This unique background allows me to see any situation from multiple perspectives, and therefore identify the crux of complex issues quickly.
Other trivia about me: I have written a book called Effortless Networking: Everyday Wisdom to Transform Your Business and Life. I love dancing Argentine tango, expressing my creativity through cooking, and traveling. And gardening helps me remember that not everything can be hastened.
I have served as President of Silicon Valley Coach Federation (SVCF) and the Chair of the Ambassadors’ Club at the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce. For two years, I regularly taught at the San Francisco Small Business Administration (SBA). I also served on the Advisory Board for WeMeUs and volunteered at Women’s Initiative for Self Employment.
I now live in Lancaster, Pa. with my husband, two young children, an elderly cat and a lizard. (I suppose we should also include the live crickets that the lizard eats, even though they are temporary members of the family.)
