About

I graduated from the Naval Academy with a B.S. in Aerospace Engineering and from Stanford with a M.S. in Aeronautics/ Astronautics. After graduate school, I served for 5 years in the United States Marine Corps as an Intelligence Officer. After my military service, I attended Kellogg Business School, graduating with my MBA in June 2020. I joined Danaher's General Management Development Program and then worked at TransDigm, where I was a Business Unit Manager with full P&L ownership. I am now a General Manager at The Young Engineers, where I have full responsibility of the company.

Rishi’s Executive Coaching Qualifications

Experience level: Manager

Open to working with clients outside the U.S.

I am currently a part of Danaher's General Management Development Program, which is widely known as one of the premier Management Development Programs for business school graduates. Having supported Danaher's MBA recruiting efforts, I have first-hand experience with interview preparation and how candidates can posture themselves for acceptance into Management Development Programs.

Why do I coach?

For me, coaching is all about helping candidates reach their goals and push beyond their perceived limits. I received immense help from coaches and peers when I was applying to Business School and jobs, and I want to pay it forward. The help I received was invaluable and absolutely critical in helping me get to where I am today.
