Aparna Warade

I have been building better organizations—and cultivating strong, resilient leadership teams—for more than 15 years. As a senior leader and global project manager, I provide vision, strategy, and hands-on leadership to pinpoint needs, create innovative systems and processes, and execute programs that foster long-range success.
I’ve tackled complex business problems for Southern California Edison, Walmart, Patni Computer Systems (now Capgemini), Louis Vuitton, and other companies in the U.S. and overseas.
Together with C-level stakeholders, global vendors, and cross-functional teams, I’ve rolled out ahead-of-the-curve initiatives for talent management, leadership development, and performance improvement. These programs have solved on-the-job challenges while yielding immediate and lasting results: increasing accountability, improving productivity, facilitating transformation, and skyrocketing individual and team performance.
