Shilpa Pherwani
CEO, Ibis Consulting Group
“I approach Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion with an abundance mentality. Inclusion signals scarcity to some, but the end goal is equity for all. It takes being intentional about culture to make the shift from ‘us vs. them’ thinking. I work with clients to transform the workplace environment from one that tolerates differences to one that truly embraces them—where every person feels a sense of belonging and can ultimately thrive.”
— Shilpa Pherwani
As CEO, Shilpa Pherwani collaborates with leaders to develop innovative, engaging solutions that help dismantle systemic inequities and embrace diversity for success. An organizational psychologist by training, Shilpa has built trusting, long-term relationships through deep listening and meeting people where they are.
As an entrepreneur and thought leader, Shilpa has developed a one-of-a-kind tool for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion assessments: The Inclusive Organization Framework. This unique framework takes into account 14 key organizational areas to gauge where strategic focus can ensure impactful progress.
Shilpa’s experience as an immigrant from India, which has guided her to value what she brings to the community rather than assimilate to a dominant culture, is a cornerstone that she has impressed upon her own children as well as her business. Since 1999, Shilpa has partnered with powerful companies and universities from around the world as they run DEI assessments, develop strategic diversity action plans, and deliver creative solutions in a ever-changing DEI landscape.
