Roopa Unnikrishnan Biography

Roopa Unnikrishnan is a Rhodes Scholar, senior business leader, award-winning author, and international medalist in rifle shooting who speaks on transformation, personal growth, and writing. Unnikrishnan has led strategy, innovation, corporate development, and AI agendas across global industrial and technology businesses including Pfizer, BlackRock, Citi, IDEX, Vontier, and Harman, where she helped steer major growth and portfolio shifts. Her perspective combines boardroom leadership, elite sport discipline, and the storyteller’s eye, making her a compelling speaker for CEO forums, board programs, leadership offsites, and innovation conferences.

Unnikrishnan translates large-scale disruption into practical choices for leaders facing pressure to grow, reinvent, and communicate clearly. Across her operating and advisory career, she has led more than $3B in M&A, built innovation systems, shaped enterprise AI agendas, and advised organizations on strategy, change, and organizational design. She also brings unusual range: an Oxford-trained historian and MBA, a certified corporate director in the US and India, and an author whose work spans career reinvention, business commentary, and fiction.
