In this episode of Soulful CXO, Dr. Rebecca Wynn speaks with Avani Desai, CEO and President of Schellman & Company, a leading CPA firm specializing in technology and security assessments. Avani shares her journey from growing up as the daughter of Indian immigrants to becoming one of the few women of color to lead a top 100 accounting firm. The conversation explores how she has built a successful career without compromising her identity, values, or personal life. Avani opens up about the importance of mentorship, prioritization, and staying aligned with your purpose. She also discusses the challenges of leading in male-dominated industries and why it is critical to remain authentic while creating space for others. This episode is a powerful reminder that leadership begins with self-awareness and a clear sense of what truly matters.
