Srijata Bhatnagar

Professional Bio

Srijata Bhatnagar turns leadership challenges into strategic advantages. Her superpower? Where others see setbacks, she sees breakthroughs and teaches leaders to do the same. AXA, Ecolab, ServiceNow, Teradyne, RealPage, the US Consulate General, Silicon Valley Chamber of Commerce, and more have trusted her to deliver that shift.

As a Keynote Speaker, Leadership Challenges Strategist, and Setback SOP™ Expert, she has inspired 50,000+ leaders across 12+ countries through 100+ keynotes, workshops, sales kickoffs, and executive retreats. Her Setback SOP™ Framework shifts teams from "Why me?" to "Wow, it's me!"

Her 360-degree lens sets her apart. Having led at Oxford University Press and ESPN, founded two startups, and now operating as a global strategist, she thinks like a boss, an employee, and a neutral strategist simultaneously. Audiences call her "refreshing," "real," and "exactly what we needed."

Most requested programs: The Power of Setback Leadership, Belong First Bounce Forward, Strategies to SOAR, and From Chaos to Clarity. She serves leadership teams, ERGs, BRGs, and conference audiences across technology, financial services, hospitality, and associations.

Author of Setback Leadership and SOAR, contributor to four anthologies.

Credentials: MBA, Advanced Life Coach Certification, NLP Master Practitioner, HBS AI Essentials.

Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, available nationwide and internationally.

When not working with leaders, she is absorbed in teen romance novels (her guilty pleasure!), leadership books, Bollywood movies, or chatting with strangers while traveling. And yes - she is tackling the biggest leadership challenge of all: raising a teenager!
