Bio

Rashmi Airan is a captivating and motivational speaker, consultant, and catalyst for
transformation with a mission to foster organizational cultures centered around authenticity. Her
powerful story transcends the pitfalls of unknowingly making a life-altering decision; it’s a tale of
leadership, core values, and decision-making, capable of creating a safe haven for courageous
and often challenging conversations.
As a first-generation immigrant of Indian descent raised with lofty expectations, Rashmi excelled
as a lawyer, graduating with honors from Columbia Law School. After gaining experience at
major corporations, she embarked on an independent law practice in Miami. During the housing
boom, she developed an ethical blind spot collaborating with a real estate developer engaged in
questionable practices. Driven by her desire for success to provide for her children, Rashmi
refrained from questioning her client’s actions despite her inner voice urging caution. This led to
a federal prison sentence for bank fraud.
During her six months in federal prison, Rashmi found inner peace and self-forgiveness. This
humbling yet invaluable experience made her realize that while living with remorse is one thing,
allowing it to define one’s identity is another. Now a “recovering lawyer and investment banker,”
female leader, and community entrepreneur, Rashmi is an internationally recognized keynote
speaker and TEDx presenter.
