Rupal Patel’s high-octane career as a CIA officer turned serial entrepreneur has taken her from military briefing rooms in jungles and war zones to corporate boardrooms and international stages. After a career at the CIA, she earned her MBA from London Business School and started her first award-winning business over ten years ago.
As a sitting CEO, author, strategist, coach and mentor, Rupal helps founders, executives, and next generation change-makers reset their mindset and make the impossible possible. Her new book, ‘From CIA to CEO’, provides a powerful new toolkit for living and leading that reveals how the techniques of the CIA can help anyone find their voice and thrive without conforming to stale stereotypes or dated “best practice”.
