The CodeBreaker Mindset: Redefining Impossible Into Inevitable
About this Event
What if your next career move breaks every rule? Meet Chitra Nawbatt, someone who actually did it. She built fintech systems at Deutsche Bank, became a news anchor for Reuters and Bloomberg, and led innovation strategy at a billion-dollar venture capital firm. Not in that order. Not in any predictable order.
From first-generation immigrant to Fortune 500 advisor, Chitra didn't follow the traditional playbook, she rewrote it. She'll walk you through the CodeBreaker Mindset, the framework that's helped her (and countless leaders she's mentored) make bold moves, navigate career pivots nobody saw coming, and turn ideas everyone said were impossible into reality.
This is real talk about what it takes to lead across different industries, recognize opportunities others miss, and build a career that actually excites you. Leave this talk with a framework you can actually use, and the confidence to take the leap.
