Chitra Ragavan, Executive Coach & Strategic Advisor

Over the past 15 years, I have had the pride and privilege of working with the most innovative technology founders as a strategic advisor and executive leadership coach.

My mission is to help you unleash your maximal potential for explosive growth. I accept only a few select new clients each year into my exclusive global coaching and consulting practice.

Before entering the technology space, I was a journalist at National Public Radio, U.S. News & World Report magazine and Chicago Public Television. My cross-platform news and media expertise play an integral role in my strategic coaching and consulting practice and as an interviewer, moderator and master facilitator.

 

“Chitra was instrumental in getting our business off the ground.”

– Stewart Kelly, Founder & CEO, Ground Truth Intelligence
