Our Story
From Unprepared and Undervalued to Thriving and Recognized
We started our careers completely unprepared for the world of negotiation. Reality
hit hard: the gender pay gap was
real. Mentorship felt scarce, especially for women and people of color.
So, we built our "Jedi Council" of
incredible women leaders. Inspired, we created NegotiateHer.
Our mission? Bridge the gap. We empower you to confidently negotiate, for yourself
and your team. Everyone deserves
equal opportunity to succeed.
Chief NegotiateHer
Meet Gitanjali: Woman, Indian, American citizen,
living in Switzerland, working globally.
I have scars from negotiating my own career! Early in my career, I, like many women and people of color, felt unprepared for negotiation. This experience, coupled with my 25 years in Management Consulting with EY and Accenture fueled my passion to empower others.
That's why I founded NegotiateHer.
