Raina Gandhi is the Founder and CEO of Rising Tide Consulting, a company formed to activate professional women to overcome limiting beliefs and thrive in rooms in which decisions are being made. With over two decades of experience in investment banking, consulting, nonprofit, and higher education, she traded in a promising career in finance to take an 11-year hiatus to raise her daughters, and relaunched her career into leadership roles within higher education.

Through one-on-one and group coaching, workshops, and keynotes, she empowers women to stay in the workforce, take on leadership roles, and increase their voice when making business decisions. She is committed to meeting her clients where they are along their unique and personal career journeys and provides authentic guidance around gaining career clarity, navigating successful job searches, managing transitions, leading teams, overcoming imposter syndrome and negative self-talk, and returning to work after a career break. She strongly believes leadership teams benefit immensely not only when women have multiple seats at the table, but also when they bring their true authentic selves and perspectives to the conversations.

She is a regular podcast guest and has been featured on several shows including the Chris Voss Show (top 1%), The Advisor Podcast with Stacey Chillemi. She has also had several articles published in The Medium, Thrive Global, CanvasRebel, and Bold Journey. She is also an international speaker who empowers her audience to take actionable steps towards creating healthier, more productive, and inclusive work cultures.

Raina earned her MBA from The Wharton School and leverages her experience as a leadership and career coach as well as her certifications in change management (CCMP), executive, organizational development, and women-centered coaching, DEI, and CliftonStrengths assessments to help leaders at all levels face diverse and common challenges with the goal of overcoming barriers and manifesting fulfilling careers.
