VARSHA WAISHAMPAYAN
Founder and Chief Executive Officer
Varsha is dedicated to creating pathways to promote women leaders. She is a gifted cultivator of talent who believes high potential women will thrive with the right guidance and a structured results-oriented mentoring program
Varsha has almost three decades of management experience on Wall Street and top management consulting firms like PwC. In addition to her long career on Wall Street, Varsha is passionate about creating and promoting women leaders.
She has worked and led nonprofits that focus on girls’ education. She is a teacher at heart and has seen her father changing people’s life from good to great by being a teacher all his life. Before stepping into financial services, Varsha was a professor of Chemistry in her previous life. During her career in financial services, she was constantly drawn to mentoring women around her and she noticed that she could make a difference with her approach to mentoring.
This led to a discovery and then new beginning of her purposeful journey. Varsha left her long successful career in corporate America and founded WINGS for Growth to pursue her father’s vision in a purposeful journey.
Music is Varsha’s muse. She is rejuvenated by music and equally loves being energized by a day at the spa. Nature in its selfless giving inspires her every day. She is ever grateful to have a wonderful family and thankful that she followed her father’s best advice “There is never a bad time to do good, it is a matter of priorities”. She lives in Bridgewater, NJ with her husband and enjoys the natural bounty of her
surroundings.
