Bhavana Smith
Mom, Founder, Advisor, Speaker trying to do some good in the world
About me
Bhavana spent 25+ years in marketing, advertising and consulting and has been a member of global executive leadership teams at Accenture, WPP and Publicis.
She has experience in brand/media strategy & investment for global advertisers, go-to-market strategies for clients and practices, business development, account planning, pitch management, organization design, change management and talent management. Bhavana is also the Founder of Until There Are Nine®, an organization dedicated to achieving pay and promotion equity for women.
She is a frequent speaker at companies and non-profit organizations and will soon publish a book titled, Ask, Receive, Repeat to bring the advice from the Nine Playbooks to help even more women. Bhavana's favorite title is mom. Her daughter, Jaya, is her inspiration to be better and do better. They live in Forest Hills, NY with their two dogs, Ginger & Teddy.
Bhavana loves to read, binge a good show on Netflix, make (and eat!) ice-cream and is working on bringing a new dog-leash idea to market in her spare time.

I have always dedicated myself to doing my best work, and have learned from the wisdom of others, to ask for help at the right times, and the value of learning and sharing. Glad to help on career navigation, leadership challenges, and skill building.
