Executive Coaching, Events, and Resources

I'm Dr. Priya Nalkur, President of the RoundTable Institute and an executive coach with 20+ years of experience helping leaders lead with clarity, courage, and inclusion. I work with executives, partners, and rising stars who are navigating complex interpersonal dynamics, career inflection points, or the challenges of leadership in today’s evolving workplace. With a Harvard doctorate in psychology, multiple coaching certifications accumulated over 15 years, and a global team of coaches behind me, I help clients uncover blind spots, set boundaries, navigate power and conflict, and lead from a place of integrity and impact. I’ve coached leaders across industries and around the world, and I bring a powerful mix of emotional intelligence, strategic insight, and deep respect for who you are and who you're becoming. Let's get to work.

With over 30 years of experience in data and more than a decade as a data leader, I’ve honed my skills in building high-performing teams and guiding professionals to achieve their career goals. As Head of Data Science and now Chief AI and Data Officer, I’ve led transformative data initiatives and cultivated a leadership approach that empowers others to excel. I specialize in coaching executives and aspiring leaders to reach new heights in their careers. I’ve guided a data analyst to become a Head of Business Intelligence, a data engineer to rise to Principal Data Engineer, a junior data scientist to transition into a senior data scientist, and a data engineer to achieve the position of Senior Director of their department. Beyond one-on-one coaching, I’ve contributed to organizational growth as a board member, advising a financial institution on navigating challenging economic conditions while maintaining responsible growth strategies. Having reviewed thousands of resumes and conducted over 200 interviews, I bring deep insight into what it takes to thrive in competitive and evolving fields. Helping professionals at all levels—especially data leaders—reach their potential is my passion. I take immense satisfaction in mentoring others and enabling them to step confidently into their next career challenge. If that sounds like you, let's connect!
