Priya Nalkur

Priya is the President of the RoundTable Institute, having founded the firm at a time when the global landscape appeared to be threatening the voices and leadership of women and people of color. She is deeply committed to amplifying the voices of marginalized and seasoned leaders alike, and to awakening the unconscious potential and wisdom of teams. A psychologist by training, Priya coaches her clients in a bold, direct, and fun way to model what conviction, influence, and authenticity look like. At once loving, warm, and strong, Priya knows what it's like to have your voice dismissed and squashed and to emerge free and triumphant after a long, protracted struggle. Priya is a first-generation Canadian immigrant and second-generation Indian immigrant, a proud single mom to two energetic kids, a totally nerdy bookworm, and an outdoors enthusiast, having climbed several peaks including Mt Kilimanjaro and Torres del Paine in Patagonia. She completed her postdoctoral work in Communications at the University of Pennsylvania, and she has a Doctorate in Psychology from Harvard University, and a Masters from Yale University.
