Rashmi Airan is an internationally recognized corporate and motivational speaker, a “recovering lawyer and investment banker”, a woman leader and an entrepreneur. She has a unique and vulnerable story that is a game-changer. During the housing boom, she worked with a real-estate developer who engaged in questionable business practices. Rashmi’s drive to succeed financially and to give her children the best life possible created an ethical blindspot that she deeply regrets. She chose not to question her client’s behavior despite her inner voice screaming “ask questions!” Her involvement resulted in a six-month sentence to Federal prison for bank fraud.
