Rashmi's Bio

Rashmi Airan is a keynote speaker, consultant, and unapologetic truth-teller who shakes up rooms with her raw, riveting story—one that challenges everything you think you know about leadership and the hidden traps of ambition. A first-generation Indian American, Columbia Law graduate, and former Wall Street lawyer, Rashmi made a decision during the housing boom that led to a federal prison sentence for bank fraud. Prison shattered everything she thought she knew about herself. And then? She rebuilt—stronger, bolder, and more awake. Rashmi stripped away layers of ego, guilt, and fear and emerged with a powerful message: our worst mistakes don’t define us—our response to them does. Now a globally recognized speaker, she’s worked with Coca-Cola, Merck, Deloitte, ABA, Comcast, ASAE, MPI, FSAE and more. Her insights in ethics and decision-making challenge leaders to confront blind spots and rise through struggle. She’s also a proud mom, hiker, and board member at the Overtown Youth Center.
