About Priyanka Agrawal

---

 I am a management consulting leader, with a proven track record in business and process optimization, strategic planning, value-oriented change management, and relationship building. I am also a coach, a published author, and an international speaker. 

With over 20 years of experience working in the public and private sectors, I applied my skills across diverse industries including Business intelligence, Utilities, Higher Education, Transportation, and Healthcare. 

I help organizations elevate and grow by driving technological and business transformations. To achieve this, I leverage a structured and continuous-improvement mindset with an emphasis on enhancing the human connection. The knowledge and experiences I gained from living in 3 different countries and various cities around the world equip me to view situations from multiple perspectives, think strategically, and successfully collaborate with people from all walks of life. My core strengths of developer, relator, and connectedness (per Clifton's strength finder) make me an influential leader and people developer.  

After graduating with a Master’s degree in Computer Science from the UofVictoria, I became a Certified Business Analysis Professional (CBAP®) and Certified Prosci Change Management Practitioner. I am a Six Sigma Green Belt, and Agile, Cyber security analysis and ITIL certified. I also received formal education in Strategy Excellence from UBC. I am Applied Suicide Intervention (ASIST) and CPR trained. In 2024, I was nominated UWN Woman of Inspiration.

I was a Board Director at the International Institute of Business Analysis. I am an advisor at Project Management and Business Analysis conferences. I am the founder and led a multicultural group at TransLink that I grew from the ground up to 100+ members in less than one year. I led events, programs, and policy changes to support multiculturalism in transit. I led multiple transformational projects that improve life experiences for our communities.

I designed the curriculum and authored the Agile Business Analysis course for the UofManitoba and Simon Fraser University. I have coached thousands of students worldwide and am a renowned international speaker on topics such as executive presence and leadership. My thesis and papers on human behaviour and trust with AI systems, received numerous citations and credits worldwide. 

I am always on the lookout for opportunities where I can drive meaningful change in lives, & positively uplift people and impact our communities.
