We need your brilliance.
Sheila is here to remind you that you belong in every room you enter, regardless of whether or not you see yourself reflected in the faces at the table. When you know that in your bones, you can pursue your dreams and achieve what seems beyond possible to you today.
Sheila Gujrathi
Dr. Sheila Gujrathi is a visionary leader in biotech and a passionate advocate for equity across industries.
Sheila has had the privilege of founding and leading numerous biotech companies that brought life-changing treatments to patients, serving as a CEO, chairwoman, board director, and advisor along the way.
She’s also grappled with the challenges of being a woman of color in countless rooms where she never saw anyone like her and didn’t have access to resources available to others. These experiences have shaped her purpose: to open doors and create new paths for others, especially those who've been historically underrepresented in their fields.
Driven by her spiritual dedication to seva (selfless service), Sheila serves as a mentor, role model, and sponsor for women and minorities. Now, she’s scaling her commitment to seva to reach more people than she could speak with one to one and fostering an ecosystem where exceptional individuals from all backgrounds can thrive.
If you’re ready to elevate your career and contribute to a more equitable workplace, you’re in the right place.
