Vinisha Rathod – Managing Director of p3 studio
Lead with your strengths and tenacity. Don’t lead with victimness, because people don’t like that. And so if you develop your skill set very strongly and you’re very clear on what you’re good at, you will become hard to ignore, even in spaces that you may not be traditionally welcomed in.
Vinisha Rathod
Vinisha Rathod is the Managing Director of P3 Studio and the creator of the The Briefcase Effect™ methodology. She works with founders, leaders, and teams to bridge the gap between culture, strategy, and performance as organizations scale. Over the course of her 15+-year career, Vinisha has held roles across government, consulting, tech, and enterprise environments — including positions at Ernst & Young, BCG, and in leadership assignments across culture and transformation initiatives. She brings “real-world grit and systems thinking” to help clients navigate complex growth phases (e.g. from 15 to 50 to 250+ team members) with clarity, structure, and sustainable culture. Her signature work is built around The Briefcase Effect, a personal branding and leadership framework that helps individuals and teams lead with identity, intention, and commercial impact. The book and methodology have been used to unblock performance, align culture, and sharpen organizational credibility. Vinisha is also a sought-after speaker, advisor, and thought leader. She frequently speaks on the intersections of leadership, culture design, diversity, economic empowerment, and authenticity in business. Her writing and commentary have been featured in outlets such as Fast Company, CEO World, Women’s Agenda, and more. Under her leadership, P3 Studio uses a practical, partnership-based consulting model that emphasizes removing hidden blockers in leadership teams, organizational structure, and internal alignment – not just delivering strategy but making it executable. In her mission, Vinisha is passionate about breaking ceilings and driving economic empowerment, and she advocates for systems that value merit, capability, and deeper connection over superficial metrics.
