Vishakha Shankar

With nearly eight years of experience, Vishakha brings a unique blend of project management and business analysis expertise across diverse sectors including banking, consulting, law enforcement, and higher education. Starting out as a BA intern, Vishakha quickly found herself juggling highly regulated projects like a pro, always curious, always eager to learn, and lately, totally fascinated by how AI is shaking up the world of project management.

Driven by love for the craft, Vishakha earned a full-time Master’s degree from Northeastern University in Project Management and Business Analysis, complementing her hands-on experience with solid academic foundation. She holds certifications such as CAPM, Scrum Master, and a postgraduate diploma in Digital Transformation, with PMP and CBAP credentials soon to follow.

When she’s not steering projects to success, Vishakha recharges with a barre class or by scrolling endlessly through shopping sites she has zero plans to buy from. Her perfect weekend? Savoring brunch and discovering new coffee spots with her husband, Sai. Together, they love traveling and hosting lively gatherings.

Eight years and a master’s degree later, Vishakha is still trying to figure out if project management is an art, a science, or just a smart way to keep the chaos in check — and it’s a question she’ll happily ponder for years to come.
